Casting announced for Lord of the Flies adaptation, with Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve to co-create score
Much of the cast are making their professional acting debuts on the show, following an open casting call.
In the four-part drama, a plane crash strands a group of schoolboys on a desert island. Without adults, the children attempt to organise themselves, to disastrous results. Ralph tries to provide structure, supported by the intellectual Piggy. Eventually, though, Jack – who oversees the signal fire – challenges Ralph’s leadership, and tempts other boys into savagery.
