DESCRIPTION:
(from BBC's press release, January 2026) Lord of the Flies is the story of schoolboys stranded on a tropical island with no adults, following a deadly plane crash. In an attempt to remain civil they organise themselves, led by Ralph and supported by the group's intellectual, Piggy. But when Jack becomes more interested in hunting and vying for leadership, he soon begins to draw other boys away from the group and, ultimately, from hope to tragedy. Jack Thorne's adaptation is the first for television. Truthful to the original novel - set in the early 1950s on an unnamed Pacific island - Thorne's adaptation delves further into the book's emotive themes; human nature, the loss of innocence and boyhood masculinity. Each of the four episodes is titled after a character at the core of the story - Ralph, Piggy, Simon, and Jack - offering a subtly different perspective on the boys' collective plight and manner in which they cope with their predicament. The series has been made with the support of Lord of the Flies author William Golding's family. |
