A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Drama / 7w, 1m
Charlie Josephine
Award-winning writer Charlie Josephine (I, Joan, The Globe) radically responds to William Golding’s classic Lord of the Flies in their new piece Flies – A powerful and contemporary allegory on consent and the fetishisation of the female body.
A disobedient cultural response to a very well-known story: the male gaze.
This new show explodes with tales of girlhood, and the messy joy and sticky shame that come with it. Written from young women’s real experiences expect raw honesty, humour, and sweaty dance.
