STAGE TUBE: Open Air Theatre Presents LORD OF THE FLIES

After accepting the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival for the second year in a row for Into the Woods, Artistic Director Timothy Sheader gets rehearsals underway for the first play of the 2011 season, Lord of the Flies. Marking the centenary of William Golding's birth, this gripping adaptation by Nigel Williams will kick-start the season from 19 May.

The production will rediscover this classic story in the unconfined and unparalleled atmosphere of theatre in the open air. With a group of schoolboys stranded on a desert island, what starts as an adventure becomes a struggle for survival as superstition and immorality sees the community slide into a darkly sinister world.

Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel co-direct a cast of up-and-coming young actors including George Bukhari (Piggy), James Clay (Jack), Sam Clemmett (Bill), Theo Cowan (Henry), Matt Ingram (Roger), Jordan Maxwell (Maurice), James McConville (Sam), Stuart Matthews (Eric), Alistair Toovey (Ralph) and Joshua Williams (Simon). Harrison Sansostri, Spike White and Adam Thomas Wright are sharing the role of Perceval.
