If you are not a senior, you most likely remember reading “Lord of the Flies” in your freshman year English class here at Louisville. Be sure to grab your specs and get ready to crash land into our upcoming stage adaptation of Lord of the Flies from November 22 to November 24. 

If you are unfamiliar with the story, Lord of the Flies is about a group of English boys who crash land on an island and have to figure out how to survive. The play is filled with emotional turbulence and will leave you on the edge of a cliff at times. There will be two casts, sun and sand, so if you have a friend in the show ask them which days they perform. 

When you go and see the show, here are some things the cast and crew think you should keep an eye out for. Sutherland’s favorite stage piece is “the pig”, prop of choice for assistant stage manager Joe Vappie ’26 is   “the conch.” Mia Rosenzweig ’26 wants you to watch out for her portrayal of Roger and his “ability to adapt to his surroundings” and Natalya Sarac ’27 who plays Simon on the sun cast is excited about being the “most peaceful of the boys.” 

Don’t miss this gripping adaptation of Lord of the Flies—it’s sure to be a performance to remember!
