JUNIOR PRODUCTION
The Lord of the Flies
By William Golding
THE PLOT
A group of schoolboys are stranded in a plane crash on a tropical island, without any adults. There are “littluns”, boys around the age of 6 and “bigguns” who are between the ages of 10 and 12. In order to survive they attempt to form a community based on what they know of the adult world. Some become the rulers while others are ruled. The elected leader is Ralph with the support of Piggy. A major challenge to Ralph’s leadership is Jack. Jack commands a group of choirboys turned hunters who sacrifice a wild pig. A conflict between Jack and Ralph develops over the leadership, which causes a split in the group. The behaviour turns savage and Jack’s hunters roam the island in search of the mythical beast. Soon the hunt turns into a man-hunt to track down and kill Ralph. A passing ship sees the smoke from their fire and a British naval officer arrives just in time to save Ralph from certain death at the hands of the schoolboys turned savages.

school is flooded. There are sixteen speaking roles and room for a large
chorus. Running time is over two hours.
