Telling the story of a group of schoolchildren stranded on a deserted island during an unspecified war and forced to fend for themselves without adult guidance, the novel’s exploration of man’s true nature, ripe symbolism, and terrifyingly effective glimpse into what a society driven entirely by primal urge and the need for security would look like remain powerful and effective in the modern day. Sales began to build, and the novel is recognized today as one of the most important literary works of the modern era. While the novel did not sell well upon its initial publication, reviews were enthusiastic and the novel began to garner a reputation, especially in academic circles. Elliot Quinn (as Maurice), Mark Knightley (as Jack) and Lachlan McCall (as Roger) perform in Pilot Theatre's production of William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" directed by Marcus Romer at the Richmond Theatre, Surrey.
