Rising playwright Ivan Wilkinson is bringing an exciting and enthralling family adaptation of a Robert Louis Stevenson classic to Liverpool.

Performed by Sell A Door Theatre Company, Kidnapped is set against the backdrop of 1750s England, as brave Davie Balfour survives shipwreck and murder to dramatically escape to the Highlands of Scotland.

The adventurous tale is directed by Anna Fox, and features Stewart McCheyne as young Balfour and Jamie Laird as old Balfour.

It will be staged at The Capstone Theatre on 29 January.
