Regent's Park Theatre

Following storming performances in London, Regent’s Park Theatre’s critically acclaimed event theatre production of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies will embark on a major UK tour this Autumn, visiting the Festival Theatre Edinburgh in October 2015. Lord of the Flies marks the return of Regent’s Park Theatre to Edinburgh following their sell-out smash hit production of To Kill a Mockingbird at the King’s in February of this year.

After a group of schoolboys survive a catastrophic plane crash, what starts as a classic desert island adventure quickly descends into a struggle for survival in a darkly sinister world of superstition and immorality. William Golding’s 20th century classic explodes onto the stage in this remarkable production direct from London’s award-winning Regent’s Park Theatre.

First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies was William Golding’s debut novel. His other works including Free Fall, The Spire, Rites of Passage (Booker Prize winner), The Paper Men and Fire Down Below. In 1983 Golding was awarded The Nobel Prize in Literature.

Lord of the Flies is directed by Regent’s Park Theatre’s artistic director Timothy Sheader. It is co-directed by Liam Steel with design by Jon Bausor, composition and sound score by Nick Powell, lighting design by Paul Keogan and sound design by Avgoustas Psillas for Autograph.
