Synopsis

A plane crashes on a deserted island.

The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. By day, it is a tropical paradise of sun and sea; but each night, their dreams are inhabited by a terrifying beast. Thrust into a teenage version of Hunger Games meets Survivor, the boys’ little island adventure quickly become a struggle for survival as superstition and immorality sees the community slide into a darkly sinister world. 

It’s not too long before this well-behaved group develops a penchant for blood and violence. Myth and naturalism combine in a dynamic exploration of power, democracy, and the dichotomy of good and evil that is within us all. 

Nobel Prize-winning William Golding’s acclaimed novel, a potent allegory about the loss of innocence and the decline of civilisation is brought to dramatic life by award-winning director Samantha Scott-Blackhall (Red, Freud's Last Session) with a talented cast including Lim Kay Siu (Piggy), Mark Richmond (Jack), Ghafir Akbar (Ralph), Rizman Putra (Roger) and Erwin Shah Ismail (Simon).

Also starring Gavin Yap, Lian Sutton, Yazid Jalil, Bright Ong, Ian Loy & Crispian Chan. Directed by Samantha Scott-Blackhall.

Upon entering the SOTA Studio Theatre, I am surrounded by plants and green creepers. The greenery overwhelms and greets audience members at every turn – even the ceiling and the sitting area are not spared. It is as though I have walked into a forest and am watching the play’s events unfold right be
