‘Lord Of The Flies’ Select availability for Spring 2009

It’s back!

Celebrating 10 years since it first burst onto the stage, this thrilling and powerful adaptation of the classic ‘Lord Of The Flies’ is back to tour again by demand!

The reviews below say it all, as do the previous packed houses throughout the UK, so come on and join the tribe….

’William Golding meets Quentin Tarantino’ - Financial Times

’Brilliantly evoked ...see it and weep’ - Time Out

’Terrifying and exhilarating production ...heart stopping’ - The Guardian

’Visceral production ...thrillingly choreographed’ - The Independent

’Brilliant . A stunning production ...superb ensemble ...skilful direction, if you see nothing else, see this.’- Manchester Evening News

’This is an extraordinarily powerful piece of theatre.’ - British Theatre Guide

’It is an aggressively-choreographed piece of physical theatre, combining clever lighting and a raw techno soundtrack to create, sometimes with extraordinary effectiveness, the nightmarish vision of chaos. The play is performed by and eight strong cast of adult actors, whose physical presence on stage is breathtakingly powerful. Philip Dinsdale as Jack gives a skilfully measured performance, and Neville Hutton's portrayal of the doomed and tragic Piggy is beautifully judged. At a time when so many new plays are little more than TV scripts confined to a stage, this is real theatre, shamelessly
demonstrating its unique strengths.’ - Metro

’Lord of the Flies is back on tour and still packs a powerful punch...and is frighteningly recreated in the Lowry Centre...the striking set is dominated by the skeletal cross section of a plane and the audio-visual effects are quite stunning. Marcus Romer skillfully directs this hi-tech, high energy production. There are uncanny contemporary parallels in this powerful work which provides much food for thought long after the curtain call. Certainly the highest praise must be that this athletic and exhilarating production kept the predominantly youthful audience transfixed for two hours’. - The Stage
