The boys' hair has grown long and their clothes have begun to fall apart since they first found themselves marooned on a deserted island.

Ralph has been appointed leader and marshalled the others into maintaining a signal fire. But a faction of boys abandon their responsibilities in favour of hunting and his authority is called into question.

Judith Adams' dramatisation captures the adventure, atmosphere and chilling undertones of William Golding's tragic vision.
