Inspired by real events, Kidnappedis a swashbuckling adventure of bizarre encounters, political assassination and wild carousing with Robert Louis Stevenson’s unique counterpoint of low morals and high comedy threaded throughout.
Headstrong David Balfour, orphaned at seventeen, sets out from the Scottish Lowlands to seek his fortune in Edinburgh and finds himself abducted on the orders of his wealthy Uncle Ebenezer. He’s carried away to sea to be sold into slavery in the Carolinas, where he secures a timely alliance with Jacobite adventurer Alan Breck, and together they make an epic escape across the western Highlands.
