William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies' is an elaborate book that demonstrates roles in society through young boys who end up on an uninhabited island after a plane crash.

With no adults or authority, it is mandatory for them to have some form of civilisation to keep them in order. Throughout the book many of the boys become complete savages in order to survive and entirely forget about being rescued. Some even become so savage like that they start to turn on their own.

The play version of 'Lord of the Flies' staged by The Bermuda Festival was a successful play which was based on the book.

Apart from the lovely display of six-packs, legs and bare backs, actors were well chosen as their characters were the perfect portrayal from the book. The play took you on a very lively ride, emotionally. You went from thrilled to disappointed to hysterical and back again, many times!

And because you weren't reading what was going on, you had the feeling you would get from a soap opera, Dramatic Irony. This gave you a rush of passion. You would see something happening that the other actors could not, and want to shout out something like, "Simon, don't go back! They're going to kill you and you are way too cute!"

But of course with it being a play, it would not be the wisest thing to make a disturbance in such a manner which could leave you being completely embarrassed! The set in the play could not have better been displayed. There were backgrounds which gave you the greatest imagery of what was going on, and sounds that also contributed to the different moods throughout the play.

Because it was a play and not a movie, which would allow many different scenes to be involved, they had the use of an extended plane which was put to great use throughout the entire play. The plane could shift and turn in any direction to suit each scene. Apart from not having each part of the book included, the play turned out to be very lively and even more enjoyable than the book!
