Kidnapped is a 2023 Scottish play created by Isobel McArthur and Michael John McCarthy for the National Theatre of Scotland, based on the 1886 novel by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Following the success of McArthur and McCarthy's previous collaboration Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of), Kidnapped takes a similar approach to adapting its source material.

Music, also mostly modern, is a key element; songs including ’I've Been Everywhere’, ‘Only You’ and a Gaelic version of ‘Road to Nowhere’ are performed live by the cast to accompany the action.

The Times called it a ‘hugely enjoyable show’, praising the ‘lively and affectionate’ writing and the ‘heartfelt’ performances by the lead actors and the ensemble;[2] The Guardian described the cast as ‘plucky and lovable’,[1] while The Stage praised the ‘infectious exuberance’ created by McArthur's ‘special talent’;[9] both these reviews also especially noted the music and the set design.

Kidnapped was nominated for four Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland, in the categories of Best Ensemble, Best Design, Best Music and Sound and Best Production.
