Lord Of The Flies

Lord Of The Flies at Open Air Theatre

Why see Lord Of The Flies?

After a group of schoolboys survive a massive plane crash, what starts as a classic desert island adventure quickly becomes a struggle for survival as superstition and immorality sees the community slide into a darkly sinister world.

Created by the same team as last season’s The Crucible, the production will rediscover this gripping drama in the unconfined and unparalleled atmosphere of theatre in the open air.

Jaw dropping & mesmerising

Whether or not you have been to the Open Air Theatre before, the entrance into the theatre's parameter is an affective experience. Walking into the amphitheatre itself always builds on your initial feelings but the sights, sounds & smells that this LofF production presents to you is utterly astonishing. I spent ages, absorbed by the detail & scale of the set - it's a good job that there is no curtain here or I wouldn't have taken in the first quarter of the play if the stage had been presented in a flourish. Whether or not you know the story, this production captivates you from the very first to the very last second & as the darkness deepens, so does the atmosphere. My only regret is not giving a standing ovation. Wondrous, mesmerising theatre. ... Read more
