Details

Some are born great, some achieve greatness... and then there’s Davie Balfour. 19-year-old Davie has never left home, never been kissed and never fired a gun. Armed with nothing but a hand drawn map, he heads off on an adventure like no other – quickly realising that he has a lot of catching up to do...

This riotous re-telling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure novella is jam-packed with 20th century pop music and 18th century romance.

Performed by a dynamic ensemble of actor-musicians, Kidnapped is a colourful coming-of-age story shot through with Stevenson’s trademark blend of poetry, humour and heart. Join Davie as he navigates murderous foes, Jacobite outlaws and the most inept crew of pirates this side of the Atlantic on a journey of eye-opening discovery and treasures untold.

Based on the adventure novel by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson.

Adapted for the stage by Isobel McArthur with Michael John McCarthy (the writer and musical supervisor of the award-winning Pride & Prejudice(sort of)).

Directed by Isobel McArthur and Gareth Nicholls.

Supported by Sir Ewan and Lady Brown Chris Grace Hartness
