Fire On The Mountain

Ralph, Piggy, Jack and Simon are amongst a group of schoolboys plane-wrecked on a deserted island. Narrated by Ruth Wilson.

Ralph, Piggy, Jack and Simon are amongst a group of schoolboys who survive a plane crash and find themselves marooned on a deserted island.

With no means of contacting the world beyond, the boys come together in an attempt to initiate rescue and survive the surrounding perils. But as time passes, and memories of home grow faint, tensions mount and their unity and order is sorely tested.

First published in 1954, William Golding's classic fable of mankind's capacity for good and evil is one of the masterpieces of 20th Century literature, so much so that has it long ago reached the status of a cultural referent.

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