ONE of the most disturbing and celebrated novels of modern time will be vividly brought to life in York in September when the Pilot Theatre and York Theatre Royal co-produce William Golding's haunting and powerful tale of survival - Lord of the Flies.
The award-winning production runs in the main house from September 12 to 27.
Following a plane crash on an uninhabited island, the story follows the actions of a group of adolescent schoolboys as they battle against the elements for survival and supremacy with the island becoming a dark and dangerous place, where dreams turn to nightmares.
Based at York Theatre Royal, Pilot Theatre creates, develops and tours pioneering and culturally diverse theatre work for young people.
In addition to performance, Pilot Theatre delivers a national programme of schools’ workshops aimed to encourage active participation and give young people direct contact with professional artists.
Tickets for the production are priced from £10 to £19 with tickets for under 25s and students at £5.
