Treasure Island – Reviews

Arts Beat LA 
THRILLING ESCAPADES, SWORD FIGHTING, HIGH SPIRITS ON THE HIGH SEAS, AND HEROIC EXPLOITS!… embraces the novel’s spirit of excitement and discovery while uncovering the deeper coming-of-age story at its heart… works brilliantly in the versatile outdoor setting of Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum.”— Pauline Adamek, Arts Beat LA

Hollywood Progressive 
DELICIOUSLY DELIGHTFUL A WONDERFUL ADAPTATION… Mutiny, swordplay, gunplay, piracy and more… A rootin’-rootin’, rip-roaring adventure yarn romps at Topanga’s treasure” — Ed Rampell, Hollywood Progressive

LA Excites 
EXHILARATING… Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum proves an extraordinarily fitting home for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island… Buried gold may propel the play, but conscience, temptation, and integrity ultimately define it.” — Imaan Jalali, LA Excites

Stage and Cinema (+)
VISUAL ENERGY AND SENSUAL CHARM… an astounding vitality and a sense of naturalism uncommon in theater… By treating the steep hillside and the surrounding forest as an extension of the stage, this production makes the audience feel shipwrecked right along with the cast.” — Judson Feder, Stage and Cinema

Broadway World 
EPIC… an immersive feeling that captures the spirit of adventure… you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful place to spend a summer evening.”  Melissa Hecksher, Broadway World
