LORD OF THE FLIES Comes to Playhouse on the Square

After a devastating plane crash, an ordinary group of schoolboys finds itself marooned on an island. At first, it seems as though it's all going to be great fun, but before long, the fun becomes furious, and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic and death. As ordinary standards of behavior collapse, the world the boys know collapses with them-the world of cricket, homework, and adventure stories-and another world is revealed: one that is both primitive and terrible. Based on the classic book, Lord of the Flies is the tale of how human beings react when their humanity is stripped away.

Associate Company Member Stuart Rial (Rock of Ages; Peter Pan) is leading the ensemble cast as Ralph. He is joined by Jacob Wingfield (Hand to God; Kiss Me Kate) as Jack, and Reece Berry as Piggy; Berry will be making his Playhouse on the Square debut. Rial, Wingfield, and Berry will be joined by Gregory Boller, Cooper Clack, Ty Kirk, Isaac Middleton, Sean Moore, Kai Otsuki, Carson Scott, and James Vessell. Lord of the Flies is directed by Playhouse on the Square Resident Company Member Jordan Nichols (Memphis; Kiss Me, Kate).
