It's a dark, stormy night. The stars are out. Jim, the innkeeper's granddaughter, opens the door to a terrifying stranger. At the old sailor's feet sits a huge sea chest, full of secrets. Jim invites him in—and her dangerous voyage begins. Harwood Union Theatre brings Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of murder, money, and mutiny to life in this thrilling adaptation, November 7-9!
