Terrific performance & an amazing story. I absolutely love stories of R L Stevenson and it’s a wonderful feeling listening to the conversation, especially Silver!

Treasure Island is a journey that transforms young Jim Hawkins, shaped by the distinct yet intertwined influences of Billy Bones, Long John Silver, and Dr. Livesey—each representing different facets of life at sea and beyond. Billy Bones, the old, battered seaman, is Jim’s first encounter with the world of adventure and danger. Through Billy’s drunken tales, Jim gets his earliest education on the harsh realities of a life marked by freedom and fear, loyalty and betrayal. In many ways, Billy prepares Jim for the uncertainty and the allure of the journey to come, laying a rough foundation for the courage Jim will need.

Then there’s Long John Silver, who takes Jim’s education further, teaching him the complexities of human nature. Silver is charming, ruthless, and ever-adaptive, showing Jim that people are rarely what they seem. Silver’s mix of warmth and treachery presents Jim with the duality of friendship and manipulation. At moments, Silver’s care feels almost genuine; yet, in his near-betrayals, Jim learns that trust is never absolute, and even those who feel like allies may have hidden motives. Silver’s moral ambiguity becomes an unspoken lesson, urging Jim to trust himself and recognize strength within.

Finally, there’s Dr. Livesey, who embodies reason, morality, and duty. Unlike the impulsive, dangerous allure of Billy and Silver, Livesey offers Jim stability, compassion, and a moral compass. He’s the voice of restraint and wisdom, reminding Jim that not all battles are fought with cutlasses and bravado; some are fought by holding onto principles even when surrounded by corruption.

The adventure!
