March’s Pick: The Lord of the Flies by William Golding

When a group of boys is stranded on a deserted island, their attempt at self-governance quickly unravels, revealing how fear, power, and survival instincts can erode the rules and civility they once knew. The story becomes a stark look at human nature and the fragile line between order and chaos.

This program is presented in partnership with the Milwaukee Jewish Federation.
