"Unmissable...Nothing less than a Triumph"
Daily Telegraph
A plane crashes on a deserted island.
The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. By day, it is a tropical paradise of
sun and sea; but each night, their dreams are inhabited by a terrifying beast.
Thrust into a teenage version of Hunger Games meets Survivor, the boys’ little
island adventure quickly become a struggle for survival as superstition and
immorality sees the community slide into a darkly sinister world.
It’s not too long before this well-behaved group develops a penchant for blood
and violence. Myth and naturalism combine in a dynamic exploration of power,
democracy, and the dichotomy of good and evil that is within us all.
Nobel Prize-winning William Golding’s acclaimed novel, a potent allegory about
the loss of innocence and the decline of civilisation is brought to dramatic life
by award-winning director Samantha Scott-Blackhall (Red, Freud's Last Session)
with a talented cast including Lim Kay Siu (Piggy), Mark Richmond (Jack),
Ghafir Akbar (Ralph), Rizman Putra (Roger) and Erwin Shah Ismail (Simon).
