Silver & Gold

Thu 26th February 2026 7:30pm

Based on ‘Treasure Island‘ by Robert Louis Stevenson
Adapted and Performed by James Hyland
Music and Sound by Chris Warner

LONG JOHN SILVER is a legend in his own lifetime. Treacherous. Murderous. Infamous. PIRATICAL. The only problem is, he’s not happy with the legend and he’ll do anything to set the record straight, even at the cost of his very last breath.

Adapted and performed by award-winning actor James Hyland, SILVER & GOLD is a powerful exploration of the ambiguity of morality that will captivate both adults and children alike.

Praise for ‘Silver & Gold’:

​”James Hyland’s spellbinding SILVER & GOLD is a masterclass in storytelling, transporting its audience to the high seas and the darkest depths of human nature. It’s a truly unforgettable performance… The characterisation was utterly incredible. The way Hyland embodied Silver was nothing short of breathtaking… It’s a complete tour de force performance that left me completely captivated… Theatre doesn’t get more immersive or atmospheric than this… This is theatre as it should be. Raw, engaging, and unapologetic.”

★★★★★​​ ~Pink Prince Theatre

“Hyland delivers a high-octane performance, inhabiting the character of Long John Silver expertly and with striking nuance… The directness and richness of Silver’s characterisation vividly brings him to life in this brilliantly constructed narrative… Hyland has created another compelling and immersive story that plunges the audience into a gripping piratical adventure… A truly outstanding show that lets a maligned character stand tall and unrepentant.”

★★★★★ ~A Shiny Life For Me!

​”Hyland has a powerful stage presence… A huge credit to Hyland for giving a strong convincing performance throughout.”

★★★★★ ~Theatre & Arts Reviews

​”Silver & Gold is a definite must see show. Hyland’s brash and comedic character brings a fascinating story to life for all to enjoy. A masterpiece in its entirety.”

★★★★★ ~British Theatre Journal

“Silver, played with formidable energy by James Hyland, commands the space… Hyland’s ability to hold the audience’s attention throughout is impressive. The pacing is taut, the storytelling vivid… for those with a love of theatre, history, and storytelling, it’s a rare treat… a theatrical voyage worth taking.”
