ONE of the most disturbing and celebrated novels of all time is brought to life on stage at Theatre Royal Winchester when Lord of the Flies is staged from 14-18 October.
In the adaptation of William Golding's novel a group of apparently civilised schoolboys is cast adrift on a desert island and forced to live in a lawless society of their own making with devastating consequences.
A plane has crash-landed on an uninhabited island and the only survivors are the group of schoolboys.

With no adults, no rules and no schools or homes it's not long before the boys' fragile sense of order begins to collapse.
This compelling drama brings Ralph, Simon and Piggy to the stage in one of the most dark and profound explorations of human nature and a stunning piece of brilliantly executed theatre.
