About Lord of the Flies 

A group of young British schoolchildren are seemingly blessed by fate after surviving a catastrophic plane crash. Nevertheless, their struggles are far from over. They attempt to build a new society in the aftermath of the disaster, free from the restrictions of civilisation. But as time passes, their desire for power and control intensifies, leading them down a path towards savagery and disorder. Soon, all sense of morality and ethics is abandoned, as the boys succumb to their innermost primal instincts. In this world devoid of rules and adult influence, their actions increasingly become more violent and destructive, ultimately resulting in a bloodshed descent into chaos.

Very mediocre production. Some standout performances such as Simon, Roger and Piggy. Admirable in its ambition and diversity, but Ralph should NOT have been a girl. If she was a girl pretending to be a boy (as in Shakespeare plays) - that is one thing, but not a girl being a girl called 'Ralph.' This changes the whole play, as Golding famously highlighted the nature of men alone, charged by testosterone and dominance. All of these boys come from boarding school and early indication shows that they have been kept away from the company of females from an early age. We took my daughter to see it as she is doing this for her GCSE's, but we were all sadly underwhelmed.

I found this adaptation a bit simplistic.
