Nigel Williams’ stage adaption of William Golding’s much loved story comes from London’s award-winning Regent’s Park Theatre, who received recent acclaim in Cambridge with their production of To Kill a Mockingbird.

The story follows ‘a group of schoolboys who survive a catastrophic plane crash, before what starts as a desert island adventure quickly descends into a struggle for survival in a darkly sinister world of superstition and immorality’.

Among the cast is young local actor Luke Ward-Wilkinson, who grew up in Cambridge.

The production runs from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 10 October offering a range of 2.30pm and 7.30pm performances.
