On a remote island, a new society is being created. A group of evacuated school children have crash landed. There are no adults to tell them what to do. They’ve ripped up the rule book and are starting all over again. But it’s not long before their utopia descends into a nightmarish hell.
Step into a terrifying dystopian future where rules don't matter, law means nothing and school kids rule the world. This is a bold and contemporary staging of William Golding’s classic.
