Lord of the Flies

William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, one of the most disturbing and celebrated novels of modern times, is vividly brought to life in Pilot Theatre’s award-winning production. Marcus Romer directs.

A plane has crashed on an uninhabited island. The only survivors are a group of school boys. There are no homes or schools, no adults and no rules, and before long the boys’ fragile sense of order begins to collapse. With the discovery
of ‘the beast’, their games take on a more sinister significance and this once well-behaved group of children quickly turns into a bloodthirsty, murderous tribe.
