TREASURE

adapted
for radio drama by Ignatz Ratzkywazky
for
Red Room Radio Redux
Background:
Treasure
Island, by
Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, is the 18th
century tale of young Jim Hawkins, who sets sail as a cabin boy on
the Hispaniola, on a voyage in search of treasure hidden on a faraway
island. In the course of his harrowing adventures, he comes across a
motley assortment of devious seaman: Bill Bones, Black Dog, Old Blind
Pew, Ben Gunn and that most notorious pirate of all, the one-legged
Long John Silver, with the ever-present chattering parrot on his
shoulder. Along the way, Jim uncovers the crew’s plot of mutiny,
comes face to face with their greedy and bloodthirsty tricks, and
helps to rescue the ship as well as the stash of buried gold.
The
story is told by Jim as an adult, looking back on his youthful,
daring adventure. We begin by finding young Jim at home with his
mother at the Admiral Benbow Inn, where the boy meets his first
shadowy buccaneer, Bill Bones, and unknowingly comes into possession
of an old treasure map…a map that everyone is after...
