 AXIS
THEATRE COMPANY is thrilled to present the award winning theatrical
production of ROBINSON CRUSOE for elementary school and community theatre
performances. Since its debut ten years ago, this ultimate island
survival tale has been performed over five hundred times in the US and
across Canada. Robinson Crusoe is a tale
of survival and self discovery retold with a comic flair using actors and puppets in an
action packed, enthralling performance. Audiences from Fort St. John,
BC to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia have been
enthusiastically praising this classic portrayal of friendship and self discovery.
 A young Englishman is blown off-course and is ship wrecked on a
remote island near Trinidad.
Setting his course for survival, Robinson Crusoe adapts remnants of his shipwreck into
a tropical home,
 making his own clothes and domesticating the local animals. Crops spring up as if by
magic and Crusoe thrives alone… until one day he encounters a new arrival on the
island and his life changes forever.
Daniel Defoe's enduring and entertaining story exploring issues of hope, survival and
the need for human companionship, has been adapted for the stage by Colin Heath and
Michael Wolski. Their award winning set design easily transforms from a shipwreck, to a
tropical island, to a mountain lookout.
Creatively staged by Wayne Specht, the two actors energetically and humourously bring
this classic to life.
