Synopsis:

As in the novel, the play tells the story of a group of British schoolboys marooned on an isolated tropical island after being shot down in a plane whilst being evacuated from a war raging in Britain. The boys believe that a cataclysmic event, namely the dropping of an atom bomb, has happened. With no adults on the scene, the boys have to fend for themselves. Free from the restraining voice of adult authority and rules, the boys descend into savagery. The boys splinter into two groups, one group led by Jack who wants to be ‘top dog’ and lead by coercion and violence, and Ralph who believes in living by a set of rules, but those which involve living peacefully and in harmony with each other.
