Water Street Players present "Lord of the Flies"
In the midst of a raging war, a plane evacuating a group of schoolchildren is shot down over a deserted tropical island. Two of the boys, Ralph and Piggy, discover a conch shell on the beach, and Piggy realizes it could be used as a horn to summon the other boys. Once assembled, the students set about electing a leader and devising a way to be rescued. They choose Ralph as their leader, and Ralph appoints another boy, Jack, to be in charge of the students who will hunt for food for the entire group. With no adult survivors, they create their own micro-society. A bitter rivalry develops between Jack and Ralph as both struggle for power. The "hunters" become savage and primal, performing ritualistic dances under Jack's rule, while Ralph tries to keep his group civilized. The growing hostility between them leads to a bloody and frightening climax.
