Following its critically acclaimed debut production of The Secret Garden in 2024, OVO’s Youth Ensemble is delighted to return with William Golding’s classic tale of survival and human nature, Lord of the Flies, adapted for the stage by Nigel Williams.
A group of youths stranded on an uninhabited island descend into chaos as their struggle for power and control unravels their society. As tensions rise, primal instincts take over, and the line between civilisation and savagery blurs.
With intense performances and a fresh, youthful energy, OVO brings a raw, thought-provoking take on this timeless classic, exploring themes of leadership, morality, and the darkness within us all.
