William Golding’s classic tale of human nature
exposed, when a plane crashes on a remote
island, is brilliantly dramatized in an awardwinning
production by the UK’s Pilot Theatre in
association with York Theatre Royal.
Golding’s
disturbing and celebrated story traces the
progression of the stranded survivors from a
well-behaved group of school boys, accustomed
to rules and adult guidance, to a bloodthirsty,
murderous tribe whose activities soon take on
a more sinister significance with the discovery
of ‘the beast’.
This production received rave reviews from
the British national press when it first opened.
