Galway's Heart N Crown Theatre Company bring William Golding's award winning classic 'Lord of the Flies' to the Black Box Theatre stage on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 November.

The story follows a group of military cadets who, after a harrowing plane crash into the sea, find themselves marooned on a deserted island.

Realising the minimal chances of being rescued, the boys band together out of fear and desperation.

But, as the island paradise becomes their own, competition and power struggles split them into two packs. Ralph (Eanna O'Dowd) leads one group and preaches civilized ingenuity and togetherness, but Jack (Conor Quinlan who can be seen in 'The Year of the Flying Saucers' with Patrick Bergin)) wants nothing of it and builds a faction of barbaric hunters who ultimately go to war with Ralph.

This powerful shift in conscience transforms ordinary kids into primal killers, setting off a devastating battle of good versus evil and presenting a haunting metaphor for the savage in us all.

'Lord of the Flies' is being produced and directed by award winner Stephen Patrick Kenny.

Bookings can be made on 091-569777 or log onto www.townhalltheatregalway.com for online bookings.
