William Golding’s compelling adventure, Lord of the Flies, runs at Chichester Festival Theatre from 19 September – 11 October.
A plane crash on a desert island abandons a group of young survivors to fend for themselves. School rules are shed along with their uniforms, and friendly alliances fast become ferocious divisions.
As the children threaten to turn feral, a deadly struggle ensues between Ralph and his leadership rival, Jack.
Will chaos overcome humanity – or, with a world at war beyond the island, can rescue come in time to save them?
CFT Artistic Director Justin Audibert says: ‘One of the great modern novels, Lord of the Flies is genuinely a title, like 1984, where the bones of the idea are so incredibly powerful that every generation can reinvent and reimagine them. The director Anthony Lau will translate its propulsive energy brilliantly onto our thrust stage.’
