Neville's Island

What happens when middle class middle-management
has to survive in the middle of nowhere?

The Office meets The Lord of The Flies...

Four out-of-condition, businessmen sent off on a team-building exercise in the Lake District succeed in being the first people ever to get shipwrecked on an island on Derwentwater. Bound in by fog, menaced by wildlife and cut off from the world, this perfunctory middle-class exercise turns into a carnival of recrimination, French cricket and sausages.

What should have been a bonding process for Gordon, Angus, Roy and Neville turns into a muddy, bloody fight for survival. Because when night set in, strange things happen out in the wilds. And what took place on Neville's island that foggy November weekend none of this particular middle-management team would ever forget.

Rhys McClelland returned to direct Yaller Skunk's second production with Kevin Watt, Mark Curtis , Peter Brad-Leigh and Darren Hill fronting up the cast.

Neville's Island ran at Catford Broadway April 17th- May 12th 2007 before transferring to Dubai and Abu Dhabi between the 22nd May and the 1st June 2007
