Synopsis: 

Robinson Crusoe finds a treasure map in a bottle and sets off on his adventures. He is opposed by the evil old man of the sea, Davy Jones, and a wicked sea captain, Will Atkins. Shipwrecked on a desert island, Robinson is aided in his adventures by his brother Billy, his mother, Man Friday and Fairy Coral, who all help him outwit the tribe of cannibals and our hero returns home triumphant, to marry the girl of his dreams.

PLAYWRIGHT: Club members June Colledge with additional dialogue by John Mcdonnell & Alan Dann. It's likely that June had written this script based on her mothers (Marjorie Ristorie's) professional traditional pantomime.
