TREASURE ISLAND

TRACK 1

SCENE 1
(Dark. We hear noises of wind, thunder and rain. A strong storm lashes the sea outside the Admiral Benbow
Inn. A drunken, broken voice is heard, singing an old pirate song. The lights gradually come up, revealing the
inside of the inn. The sound of storm drops to background noise, and the song becomes more intense. At the
inn, there is an old drunken sailor, Billy Bones. He is singing. He is struggling to remain standing.)

TRACK 2

Billy: (Singing.) “Fifteen men and a dead man´s chest! Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!”

(He swigs from the bottle, then shouts off stage.)

Billy: Boy! More rum for the Captain! (To himself.) Storm demons! (Aloud.) C’mon, boy, more rum
to clear these black clouds!

(Jim Hawkins, an 11-year-old boy, enters hurriedly, carrying a pitcher. He approaches Billy Bones timidly, and as
he is about to give him the pitcher, his mother’s voice is heard offstage.)

Mrs. Hawkins (off.): Jim! Not one drop of rum for the Captain! Doctor Livesey’s orders!
Billy: Doctor’s orders! Old witch! (To Jim, who is about to leave, in a kinder voice.) Jim, boy, are you
going to let your friend go thirsty?
Jim: (Unsure.) Well...
Billy: (Grabbing his arm and drawing him close.) Jimmy! (Thunder.) Does that doctor know my
needs? I have always been kind to you. Always!
Jim: (Reluctantly.) Rum!... (Jim unsure, he looks offstage, hands over the pitcher, then looks
offstage once more.)
Billy: (Laughing.) Jim, always make your own decisions. (He drinks. Suddenly, in confidence.) Boy,
do you remember what I told you?
Jim: Yes, Captain. I have not seen a sailor in all this time.
Billy: Be alert, Jim. That sailor is evil. Do not trust him. (There is a knock at the door.) Quickly, open
the door! (Jim leaves.)
Jim: (Off.) No, Sir, Billy Bones is not here.
Black Dog: (Off.) Get out of my way! (Black Dog enters.) Well, well! Here you are! Billy Bones.
Billy: (Not recognising him.) Eh? Who dares to call me by my name?
Black Dog: Come on, Billy! Don’t you remember your old comrade?
Billy: (Shocked.) Black Dog!
Black Dog: That’s me. (To Jim.) Boy, bring us rum and leave us alone! My friend Billy and I have things to
talk about. (Jim exits.)

TREASURE ISLAND

Billy: (Trying to hide his fear.) And... So... What brings you here?
Black Dog: Don’t mess with me, Billy… Billy! You know perfectly well why I am here: the dead man’s
chest.
Billy: What chest?
Black Dog: Captain Flint’s chest! Loads of money, perhaps a map...! You were there when he died, Bones!
Where do you keep it?
Billy: I don’t know what you are talking about.
Black Dog: Rubbish! Tell me where the chest is or...
Billy: (Drawing a knife and holding it to Black Dog’s neck.) Or what? Get out of here, or you’ll be a
dead man.
Black Dog: (Leaving, enraged.) Crazy old man... You asked for it!
Billy: Boy! Jim!

TRACK 3

(Jim enters, running.)

Jim: Captain! Are you injured? Mother, please, call the doctor!
Mrs. Hawkins: (Off.) Why, Jim?
Jim: The Captain!
Mrs. Hawkins: (Off.) I knew it! Too much rum...!
Jim: What has he done to you?
Billy: Be quiet and listen, Jim. They will come back for me... But it’s not me they’re looking for. They
want my chest, the dead man’s chest. But they won’t get anything out of me... Not unless they
bring me that one-legged sailor or they give me the black spot...
Jim: The black spot?
Billy: Death, Jim. It is pirate’s law. (There is a knock on the door. Jim and Billy look frightened.) Be
careful, Jim. (Jim goes to answer the door.)
Jim: (Off.) Can I help you, Sir?
Pew: (Off.) Please, can you give shelter to a poor blind man who is lost, son? (The sound of the
door closing.) Thank you, boy! May I come in? (Jim enters with Pew, a ragged blind man. Jim
and Billy seeing him, withdraws.)
Billy: What?
Pew: Is that Billy? Oh boy, please take me to him. I have brought him a present. (Billy starts having
a heart attack.) Give me his hand, boy. (He places a piece of paper in Billy’s hand.) Mission
accomplished! (Exits.)
Billy: Come here, Jim. (Jim leaves the blind man and goes to Billy.)
Pew: (Looking for the exit.) How do I get out? (Walks into the door.) Damn!

TRACK 4

(Jim listens to Billy’s dying words.)

TREASURE ISLAND

Billy: (Opening his hand.) What is... on this paper, boy?

Jim: (Picking it up and opening it.) It is a piece of white paper with a black circle in the centre... (He
looks concerned.) Is this the black spot...?
Billy: Yes... Look on the other side... What does it say?
Jim: You only have until 10 o’clock. What does it mean, Captain?
Billy: If I don’t give them... what they want… they will take it anyway... if ever they come here... this
is for you… (Gives Jim a key.) I trust you, my dear friend.
Jim: (Looking at the key.) Is it the key to the chest, Captain? (Silence.) Captain? (Sound of the
door. Enter Doctor Livesey.)
Doctor: What is going on, Jim?
Jim: Doctor! It’s the Captain, I think he had a heart attack.
Doctor: (Approaching Billy.) Oh! God! He has drunk too much rum! What has happened?
Jim: He was here, drinking and singing, then an old sailor came, and they fought. After that, he
looked very sick and he was telling me something about the black spot. Then a blind man
appeared, who also knew him. He gave the black spot to the Captain, and then the Captain
gave me this key...
Doctor: Hold on, boy. I’m not following you.
Jim: What time is it?
Doctor: Ten o’clock. Why?
Jim: They will come! The pirates, Doctor! They’re looking for the chest!
Doctor: Calm down, Jim. What pirates? Okay, bring me that chest and let’s see. Hurry! (Jim exits.)
Captain! Captain!
Billy: I’m dying, Jim...
Doctor: It’s not Jim. I’m the doctor...
Billy: Oh, a quack!
Doctor: Don’t talk. You need to rest...
Billy: My chest... My chest... Jim... Jim will know what to do... He is a nice guy... (Delirious.) Morgan,
all aboard! Heading to Skeleton Island! (He dies.)
Doctor: Captain! (Jim enters with the chest. The doctor takes the tablecloth from the table and covers
the body.)
Doctor: Rest in peace. Is that the chest?
Jim: Eh? Oh, yes.
Doctor: Let’s see what’s inside. You have the key, right?
Jim: (Looking at Billy’s dead body.) Eh? Yes... Here it is...
Doctor: (Opening the chest.) Look Jim, loads of doubloons. (Picking up a roll of paper.) And these
papers? But... No way... You’re a lucky boy! It’s a map to an island where there is a hidden
treasure, Jim. I have heard about this treasure! I thought it was a legend, Jim! We are going
be rich! I’ll buy a boat and I’ll get a crew to take me there. You will be safe with my family in
Bristol.
Jim: I’m coming with you.
Doctor: No, son, you must stay here, where you are safe.
Jim: No Doctor, I’ll go with you. I was the one who the Captain trusted. He gave me the key to the
chest.

TREASURE ISLAND

Doctor: But…
Jim: The pirates! They are here already!

(The sound of pirates off-stage.)

Doctor: Okay, Jim. We will go together. Hurry up! We have to get away from here.
Jim: Mum! Let’s go! We need to go!

(Enter the pirates.)

Pirate 1: Oh! Bill is dead.

Pirate 2: The chest is open.
Pirate 1: The map is not here.
Pirate 2: We have to find that damn boy. Let’s find him!

TRACK 5

SCENE 2
(Deck of The Hispaniola. Long John Silver behind some boxes, wearing a chef’s apron and singing a pirate
song happily.)

Silver: (Singing.) “With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We’re hoisting the flag to be free!”

(Jim enters.)

Silver: Hey you!

Jim: Are you talking to me, Sir?
Silver: You must be the cabin boy, Hawkins, am I right?
Jim: Yes, I’m Jim, Jim Hawkins.
Silver: You look very brave, boy. So, don’t you want to shake my hands like a true sailor?
Jim: Yes, Sir.
Silver: You can call me Silver, or Long John, or “Barbecue”, because I am a cook. Have you ever
sailed before, Jim?
Jim: No, this is my first time...
Silver: I’ll show you then. The most important thing you need to know is… a good pirates’ song! Are
you ready to sing, cabin boy?
Jim: Yes Sir! I mean, Mr John Long Silver-Barbecue.
Silver: Ok, let´s sing a pirates’ song.

TRACK 7

Captain: Mr Silver! Come to my cabin!

Silver: I’m coming, Captain Smollett! (He rises and we see he has only one leg. Jim looks surprised.)
What is it, cabin boy? Have you ever seen such a good-looking sailor? (He laughs. Jim smiles
nervously.)
Captain: (Voiceover.) Mr Silver!
Silver: (Winking an eye to Jim.) I’m on my way!
Jim: “With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!”
Captain: You too, Hawkins!
Jim: I’m coming, Captain Smollett.

(Captain Smollett’s cabin.)

Captain: Well, gentlemen… Do we really need that boy here, doctor?

Doctor: Yes, we need him here.
Captain: Well, as a Captain, I am responsible for everyone’s safety. I’m completely sure about the men
I brought, but I don’t trust in the rest of the sailors…
Doctor: The rest of the crew were brought by Mr Silver, right?
Silver: I’d stake my life on them, Captain.
Captain: I’m not as sure. You must be aware of them.
Silver: Don’t worry sir.
Captain: I do! Now, you can come back to your kitchen.
Doctor: Don’t be so rude to him. He’s a good man.
Captain: He is a fraudster. Ok, Look, Silver’s men know we are looking for a treasure. We don’t know
these men, so it could be a disaster. So, my men kept the weapons and gunpowder with
them. We must keep an eye on them.
Doctor: Alright.
Captain: Hawkins, what are you doing here? Go and help Silver in the kitchen.
Doctor: I truly trust Silver, Captain.
Captain: We´ll see, Doctor, we´ll see.

(Silver and Jim wash dishes.)

Silver: Eh! Jim, come on! This is clean enough. Come here, let’s talk. I´m bored.
Jim: The Captain says I’m not a good cleaner. I don’t like him.
Silver: Nor do I, boy. Nobody complains about my food… He does. The kitchen is perfectly clean,
isn’t it? But he complains… He’s annoying. (He laughs.)
Jim: I have heard you have sailed with the most famous pirates.
Silver: (Laughs.) You learn fast. (Changing his tone.) So yes, Jim, I’ve sailed the seven seas. The
Spanish and French armies were afraid of us. One day... Buuuummmm!! (Jim freaks out,
Silver laughs.) A cannon shot did this to my leg. Boy. It is time to go to sleep. I’ll tell you the
story tomorrow. Deal? (He offers his hand.)
Jim: Deal!

TREASURE ISLAND

Silver: You learn fast, Jim, very fast. Good night. (Leaves.)
Jim: Good night, John. (He is alone.) It… Ha! Your time has come! Take, take, take this! Don’t you
know me? I’m Jim, the famous… Fast Jim! It takes! Zas! Zas! I’ll take everything of you. (He
falls over.)

(Silver gets in scene… He makes a sign with his head to the other side of the stage to someone who we can’t
see.)

Silver: (Off.) The coast is clear. (Silver enters, and behind him, Abraham Gray, a sailor… Shortly after,
Israel Hands enters trying to listen without being seen.)
Silver: No, I wasn’t the Captain, but then even Flint was afraid of me.
Gray: Go! I have heard so many stories about you...
Silver: They all were true. (Laughs.)
Gray: You earned a lot of money, didn’t you?
Silver: I can’t complain... But now I want to change my life. I want to be a gentleman. This would also
be an opportunity for you, Gray.
Gray: I think the same… Count on me! (He offers the hand.)
Silver: (He spits in his hand and they shake hands.) I knew I could count on you. Now go to rest.
(Silver makes a signal with a whistle and Hands emerges from his hiding place.) Gray is inside.
Hands: I knew it! When are we going to act, “BBQ”? The guys are nervous.
Silver: What do you have on your head, Hands?
Hands: On my head? What is it? Get it off, get it off!
Silver: (Giving him a blow to the head with his crutch.) Nothing! You’re useless, you have nothing
there! We can still act. We don’t know where the island is, so they are taking us there. Once
they find it, we will kill them, and we will be rich.
Hands: I’ll kill the Captain. Please!
Silver: Your wish will be granted.
Hands: I get hungry when I talk about death. (He goes to the barrel.) Would you like an apple?
Silver: Apple?! Are you crazy? I want rum (He leaves.)
Hands: Don’t worry, “BBQ”.
Silver: (Voiceover.) Come on, Hands! Would you like a drink or not?
Hands: Yes, yes wait for me... (Leaves.)

(Captain and Doctor appear on scene.)

Captain: In just a few hours we’ll sight land.

Doctor: I’m looking forward that…
Jim: Captain, Doctor! I have to speak with you...
Captain: But, Hawkins! What are you doing there?
Doctor: Oh, Jim...
Jim: Silver! (Angry and disappointed.) He has cheated me! He has cheated us!
Doctor: And...?
Jim: I heard them! They want to kill us and keep the treasure!
Captain: Are you sure, boy?

9
TREASURE ISLAND

Jim: Quite sure, Captain. Silver is the leader. His men want to act now, but he prefers to wait until
we find the treasure. Gray, your sailor ,has joined them.
Captain: Gray? (Looking at the Doctor.) Do you believe me now? (To Jim.) Well, Hawkins, thanks for
the information.
Doctor: (Concerned.) We have to do something!
Captain: I know! When we get to the island, I’ll give you a few free hours and I’ll leave aboard the same
number of traitors and faithful. That ensures we can at least take control of the ship.
Jim: Can I help?
Captain: You’ve done enough, Hawkins. You will stay with me on The Hispaniola. Here, we are safe.
Jim: But Silver trusts me. I could go with them and see what...
Captain: No! You’ll stay on board.
Doctor: Captain Smollett is right, Jim.
Captain: I need to give the weapons to our faithful men. (He leaves.)
Doctor: We can’t do anything else. (He leaves.)
Jim: But...
Sailor: Land Ahoy!
Silver: (Voiceover.) Guys, good news!! We have a few hours on land. A cheer for our Captain! (Sailors
shout “hooray!”)
Jim: (Angry.) Traitor! I’ll do something else.
Doctor: If I may say it, Captain. Don’t be so rude to Jim. He’s just a kid.
Captain: Damned kid!!!
Doctor: What are you saying?
Captain: Hawkins. He is hidden in one of the boats.
Doctor: What?
Captain: Silver knows. (Decided.) I need you to help me. You can go to shore to see what happens
there.
Doctor: You can count on me.
Captain: Ok, let’s get ready…

(Dark.)

TRACK 8

SCENE 3
(The island.)

Silver: (Voiceover.) Jim, Jim! Wait, boy! (Jim is hidden in the undergrowth.) (Entering.) Jim! (He stops
tired.) Damn boy! (Shout out.) Gray! Can you see Hawkins anywhere?
Gray: (Entering.) No.
Silver: No trust. That boy is cleverer than he seems.
Gray : I wanted to talk to you about something, Silver.

10
TREASURE ISLAND

Silver: What’s wrong?

Gray: Your people want to kill everybody.
Silver: So… What is the problem?
Gray: I do not want to kill them!
Silver: (Quiet.) If you want to save your neck, you have to be with us.
Gray: No! They are innocent people. I do not want to do that. (A shot is heard.) What was that?
Silver: Oh, that? Alan...
Gray: Alan? Did you guys kill him?
Silver: He thought the same of you.
Gray: Damn traitors! (Brandishing his pistol and walking back.) I’ll tell the Captain about this. (John
shoots him.) Ah!! (Gray falls dead.)
Silver: One less problem. (Comes out looking for Jim.) Jim, I’m your friend! Jim!

(Meanwhile, on the other side of the stage appears a strange character: long hair and beard. It is Ben Gunn.
Jim runs to grab Gray ’s weapon and Ben Gunn kneels begging clemency.)

Jim: Who are you?

Ben: Ben Gunn. It’s been three years since I have spoken to anyone.
Jim: Three years? Are you a survivor?
Ben: No! I left... Do you have anything to eat? Yeah! Cheese! Do you have any cheese?
Jim: There is cheese on The Hispaniola.
Ben: Yes! Cheese, cheese! (Suddenly) What is your name?
Jim: Jim, Jim Hawkins.
Ben: Oh, Jim. Tell me the truth. Is Flint on the boat?
Jim: No! Flint died, but unfortunately there are some of his men aboard...
Ben: (With fear.) Is there one... with just one... Leg?
Jim: Silver?
Ben: Yeah! Silver.
Jim: Yes, he is the cook and the leader of the evil people.
Ben: Evil people?
Jim: They want to take the treasure and kill us.
Ben: Wow! You’re in real trouble… Do you think that Doctor would help me to return to England if I
help you?
Jim: Yes, of course.
Ben: You know? I was on Flint’s ship when he hid the treasure. He didn’t tell anyone where it was.
Three years ago, I was on another boat and we were here to see if I could find the treasure.
When I didn´t they left me here. But now I know where it is. Will you tell your Captain I’m a
good man, Jim?
Jim: Yes, but how can we get back to The Hispaniola?
Ben: I built a small boat. At night, we could try to... (Sound of a cannon shot.) The battle has
started, Jim! Follow me! (Many shots of rifles. In the shadows, between shots, we’ve seen
them go running. Ben falls.)
Jim: Hey. There’s a fence there.
Ben: I’m not going inside that fence.

11
TREASURE ISLAND

Jim: I saw the Doctor. He’s inside the fence.

Ben: Talk to the Doctor first. Then I’ll help. You’ll find me at the same place.
Jim: Captain! Doctor! It’s me, Jim!
Captain: Hawkins! Are you ok?
Jim: Yes, I am. What about you?
Doctor : We are fine, but we have lost many of our men.
Jim: But... What happened?
Captain: They tried to kill us. We managed to get here before Silver, but along the way I lost some of
my men.
Doctor: But we killed some of his people. We won’t surrender. What about you Jim?
Jim: I have found a castaway called Ben Gunn, who knows where the treasure is. He will help us
if we take him back to England with us.
Captain: A castaway? Do you trust him, Hawkins?
Jim: He’s crazy, but he’s nice and I like him.
Captain: (Thinks.) Let’s see if we can survive.
Silver: “White Flag!”
Captain: Who is it? I’ll shoot if you move!
Silver: I am Captain Silver! White Flag!
Captain: It must be a trap. (To Silver.) What do you want?
Silver: We want an agreement.
Captain: Look, I don’t talk to traitors. Whatever you want to say, say it from there.
Silver: Oh, hello Jim!
Doctor: Well, you are fewer and soon you won’t have any food. If you give us the map, we can provide
you food and you will stay alive. I promise.
Captain: Is that all?
Silver: This is my last word!
Captain: Now listen to me: it won’t be any treat. If you surrender now, you’ll have a fair trial. If not, we
will kill you. You can’t get out of here. You don’t know how to sail.
Silver: You have asked for it. Can I have your hand to get up out of here?
Captain: No way!
Silver: Jim?
Jim: Not in your wildest dreams.
Silver: You asked for it! In an hour you all will be dead. (Exits.)
Captain: We have to get ready. Let’s take our weapons. Hawkins, …. (He’s not there.) Hawkins!
Doctor: He left. (They look.) He is not here!
Captain: Damn boy!

TRACK 9

SCENE 4
(The deck of The Hispaniola. Lying in a corner is Hands . Jim enters. Hands hears him and calls out. He is
seriously hurt.)

12
TREASURE ISLAND

Hands: Damn O’Brien! Are you still alive? (He sees Jim.) Jim... Cognac... (Jim looks around and sees
an almost empty bottle.)
Jim: Yes, Hands. From now on, I am your Captain.
Hands: Indeed boy... You came down from heaven, boy. There was a big fight on board. I’m the only
one left alive.
Jim: You are badly hurt, Hands.
Hands: I can’t sail the boat, Jim. I’ll give you instructions to get to the island, but I need something to
eat… And drink.
Jim: Sure, but we have to go exactly where I am going to tell you.
Hands: Of course. Deal!

(Dark.)

(Jim is sailing the boat with Hands sitting next to him.)

Hands: Captain Hawkins ! We’ve almost arrived. Ah!

Jim: What is it?
Hands: My wound... I need to change this cloth. (Jim lets go of the rudder and tries to attack him. They
fight but Hands stumbles and kill himself with his sword. He falls overboard.)
Hands: Damn boy!

TRACK 10

SCENE 5
(Night. Three men sleeping on the inside of the fence. Jim appears.)

Jim: Doctor! Captain Smollett! It’s me, Jim. I’m back. (He trips over one of the bodies.)
Silver: Who’s there?

(Morganholds Jim back, so he can’t move.)

Morgan: Look what I’ve found, John.

Silver: Well ! If it isn’t the famous Jim Hawkins in person!! You came to see your old friend John. (To
Morgan.) Let him go. Hell, Jim, you remind me of when I was a young boy. I always wanted
you to join our team, and now you don’t have a choice. (Jim looks at him, not understanding.)
Smollett and the Doctor thought you had betrayed them.
Jim: Where are they? And why are you here?
Silver: They called aa truce and they told us that the ship was gone. So, the Doctor offered me a
deal. They would give us the treasure if we let them free and safe. So, we did.
Jim: (Unsure.) Really?
Silver: That’s all you need to know. So, do you want to join our team? What’s your decision?

13
TREASURE ISLAND

Jim: (Thinking hard.) I’m not that stupid. (He takes a deep breath and continues talking, pretending
to be confident) You did it all wrong… you lost the boat, you lost the treasure and many of your
man are dead. And I did it all. (To Silver.) I heard your plans and I told the Captain everything.
It was me who took the ship, so I’m not scared of you! I’ll say just one thing: I will forget the
past if you surrender. So, what’s your decision?
Merry: (Drawing a knife.) Well, this is my decision! (Silver pushes him back and he falls.)
Silver: Get back, Merry! Demons! He’s just a kid!
Morgan: (Challenging.) I want to kill him too.
Silver: I’m your Captain, remember? I like this kid, He’s braver than any of my men, so leave him
alone. Any complaints?
Morgan: The crew are unhappy with your leadership and we need to talk about that. Let’s go, Merry.
(Merry doesn’t understand. Morgangets desperate.) Go outside! (Merry leaves, followed by
Morgan.)
SILVER: This meeting means you are almost a dead man. And probably me too! I guess this is a
rebellion. Listen boy, I’m on your side. But I understand now you are a real man, and we can
be the perfect team to save our lives.
Jim: (Understanding.) So... Is it all over?
Silver: Yes, hell! We have missed the boat, and our lives are in danger... For this reason, we have to
make an agreement… you save me, and I’ll save you.
Jim: (Hesitates, but can’t see another solution.) I agree then.
Silver: (Looks outwards.) Look, boy, I’m not stupid. I know that you have hidden The Hispaniola
somewhere. I know when I have lost a battle, and I also know when a man is loyal.
Jim: (Hearing noises outside.) Here they come.
Silver: Hide! (Jim hides. Merry and Morganenter. They don’t approach Silver.) Come on, I don’t bite.
(They give him a piece of paper.) The black spot! I knew it. But where have you taken this
from? A bible? You idiots, this will bring you bad luck!
Morgan: It doesn’t matter. Read the back!
Silver: Okay. (Gives it back to the paper and read.) “Dismissed”. (Quiet.) Will you tell me why?
Morgan: First, you’ve spoiled this trip. Second, you let our enemies escape. Third, we couldn’t follow
them. We are not stupid, Silver. And fourth, you have saved the kid. You are with them now.
Silver: Have you finished?
Morgan: Yes.
Silver : First, it was you all who spoiled the trip by drinking all the time. So we lost the boat.
Merry: (Frightened.) Good... And what else?
Silver: Second: the boy. (Turning around.) He’s going to be our hostage. Do you really want to kill
our last chance? Third: the Doctor will come with a new boat to save the hostage. Fourth: I let
them go, because they gave me this…
Morgan : Flint’s treasure map!
Merry: It’s true! Look at his signature… J.F.
Morgan: Very well, but... How can we get the treasure if we don’t have a boat?
Silver: Well... The kid told me the boat is hidden, but I don’t know where. I will negotiate his freedom
if he tells me where to find The Hispaniola.
Morgan: True... That’s so clever!
Merry: Long live Captain Silver!
Morgan: Hurray!

14
TREASURE ISLAND

Silver: Okay, we need to be ready. Tomorrow, I’ll search for the treasure. We will tie up the kid, I don’t
want any more surprises. Now, leave me alone!
(They leave. Silver calls Jim.) Now you can come out, Jim. (Jim regarded him with suspicion.)
Come on, boy, I gave you my word. Can I trust you?
Jim: (Offended.) Of course.
Silver: I didn’t doubt it. Remember that we only have each other.

(Jungle. It is hot. We see the group walking in line. Suddenly, Merry starts shouting.)

Silver: What have you seen?

(Merry comes on stage with a skeleton bone.)

Silver: What?
Jim: Who?
Morgan: I think this is the Allardyce’s skeleton lying on the ground.
Silver: Good. (Hands the bone to Jim.)
Jim: Okay.
All: How?!!
Silver: I knew it! It is a sign on the map. We are on the right path. The skeleton points in the direction
of the treasure. Poor Allardyce... One of the six who accompanied flint.
Merry: Poor Allardyce (He cries.)
Silver: Keep walking! (They keep walking. Suddenly, We hear a weak voice singing “Fifteen men
with the chest of the dead! Ho-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!” Silver, Morganand Merry stop,
terrified.)
Morgan: He… He is…
Merry: Flint!
Silver: (Dismissively.) Let’s go... Dead people don’t sing. I’ve heard that voice sometimes... Bah! It
doesn’t matter (They hear the same voice saying: “McGraw! Darby McGraw! Son of the devil!
Bring Rum, Darby!” Merry and Morgan are terrified.)
Morgan: Those were his last words... On board...
Merry: It’s a curse, for using the bible for his black spot! This is Flint’s spirit! I’ve got to do something!
Silver: Wait! No one but us three on this island knew Darby McGraw... And that voice... Yeah! Ben
Gunn! This is Ben Gunn’s voice!
Morgan: It’s not possible...
Silver: I don’t mind. Ben Gunn is not very scary, and I wasn’t afraid of Flint when he was alive. I won’t
be now he’s dead. Come on! It won’t take long!
Morgan: (Shouting.) Here we are! The treasure is behind that tree!! (Runs to look.) There’s nothing!
Only this... (He shows a piece of wood.)
Silver: Walrus... Flint’s ship name... Did you look properly?
Morgan: Of course I did! Someone got here before us... And he has taken everything! And it’s your fault,
you, old cripple!. (Grabbing Jim by the neck.) And this is his fault too. (To Jim.) You will be the
first to die. (He pulls out his knife, but Silver pulls out his gun and shoots him.) Ahhhh! (He
falls down dead.) (The Doctor enters with a gun and points it at Silver.)

TREASURE ISLAND

Doctor: Jim!
Jim: Doctor!
Doctor: Thank God! (He unties him.) Are you ok?
Jim: Yes! (Pointing at Silver.) Silver just saved my life.
Silver: I promised you. I expect the same from you, Jim.
Doctor: What are you talking about?
Jim: I gave him my word, if you helped me to get out alive of here, I would help him as well.
Doctor: I promise you when we come back to England you will have a fair trial.
Silver: Thank you, Doctor.
Jim: Where is the Captain?
Doctor: He is taking care of his men in Ben Gunn’s cave.
Silver: I knew it! That Ben Gunn!
Doctor: When you left, Ben came to see us at the fort and he explained everything. We went with him
because he had food for all of us, so we decided to give the rioters the fort and the map. We
saw the boat on the other side of the island but didn’t know anything about you until I saw
coming over here and assumed that it was you who had brought it. Then, I came here with Ben
to rescue you. He scared the pirates.
Jim: I’m so happy to see you, Doctor.
Doctor: So am I, Jim. We thought you had crossed over to the evil side... But, let us go back to the
cave. There is a treasure to take with us.

SCENE 6
(Deck of The Hispaniola. The Captain is resting. Silver Enters.)

Silver: Did you call me, Captain?

Captain: I did, Silver. I think you are a great villain and an imposter... I won’t report you as I have
promised Jim I wouldn’t, but I don’t want to see you again.
Silver: (Bowing.) Thank you, Captain! Your wish is my command. I have prepared a dinner for the
crew if you want to join them.
Captain: Thank you. Aren’t you eating with us?
Silver: No. I’m not hungry. Emotion has made me lose my appetite.
Captain: Whatever. (Leaves.)

(Silver watches Captain Smollett leave. He checks there is no one around. He pulls a shoulder bag out from
under a box. Jim enters with some food.)

Jim: Silver, I’ve brought you a bit of...

Silver: Shhhh! (Pulls out his gun and points it at him.) Silence, boy. Your friend John is taking his part
of the treasure.
Jim: What? But...

TREASURE ISLAND

Silver: I don’t want just to be free.

Jim: I won’t let you run away.
Silver: Do you really want to die so young?
Jim: You would not be able to shoot me.
Silver: I love your innocence! You’re wrong, Jim. I’m not going to lose everything because of you. So,
don’t move until I have left. (The doctor enters, calling Jim.)
Doctor: Jim, is everything right...?

(Silver shoots the Doctor.)

Jim: Are you alright, Doctor? Are you hurt?

Doctor: No, he missed. What was that?
Jim: Silver! He fled with part of the treasure!
Captain: What has happened? Are you alright? Silver? (To Jim.) Learn this lesson, Hawkins, he was a
traitor. You can’t trust traitors.
Jim: I will not forget it. This is not the only thing that I have learned on this trip. I want to use my
share of the treasure to buy a new tavern for my mother at the port, and then I will build my
own boat. I think I was born to sail. (Final song music begins.)
Doctor: Are you sure about that, Jim? (Jim nods.)
Captain: You still have so much to learn, Hawkins.
Jim: You could you teach me, Captain.

TRACK 12
Treasure Island Song

I don’t wish I could turn back time

I can move the oceans higher than high
Don’t look back, hold on to your spirit
Keep moving every minute

Treasure Island
On a quest for gold we’ll sail the seven seas
I can’t believe we’re on our way
We’re going there today

I’m ready, why are you standing still?

Are you coming with me? – I know you will
We can search the world together
Come on, baby, now or never

Treasure Island
On a quest for gold we’ll sail the seven seas
I can’t believe we’re on our way
We’re going there today
