A plane full of students crashing on a desert island, all the adults are dead. What is to do? Cry? Enjoy the weather? Enjoy a life without school and any other restrictions? While some students can’t wait for the arrival of a rescue team, others use this moment to find out what power really means and how easily people can be manipulated. And so the heavenly beaches turn into hell – at least for some students. 

Inspired by William Golding‘s masterpiece novel „Lord of the Flies“, the LLIS play „Of Men and Beasts“ imagines how this scenario could turn out in a modern and digitalised world.
