Courage, strength and adventure meet murder, money and mutiny in the popular, swashbuckling story. Arthur stars as the enigmatic Long John Silver opposite Patsy Ferran who plays the loveable - and now female - hero Jim.
The gender-switching cast continues with actresses among faces filling the boots of the Hispaniola's crew who cross swords on land and sea in spectacular, transformative sets designed by Lizzie Clachan.
Screened live from the Olivier Theatre, the show is directed by Polly Findlay - best known for War Horse Berlin - and is brought to life by British dramatist Bryony Lavery.
There are more chances to catch this unique take on Stevenson's children's novel with two encore screenings at 2pm and 7.30pm on Thursday, February 19, for anyone unable to make the live screening.
