Reviews

""Witty. Playful. A richly enjoyable show."" - Financial Times ""Jim Hawkins becomes a girl rebelling against gender roles in this imaginative adaptation, which keeps alive the wit and excitement of the book... it offers variations on Stevenson's original without vandalizing it... This version, like the book, is a tribute to the wit, honor and resourcefulness of children."" - The Guardian ""Ambitious and magical. Thrillingly executed."" - The Stage
