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.

The Stage
This four-hander is an excellently acted and cast team production and as the second drama bodes well for the Yaller Skunk company’s future. Actors looking for opportunities are finding that forming their own company is an answer.

The News Shopper
The talented cast suit their roles and deliver some top thesping; a credit to the sharp script from Tim Firth - writer of other Britcoms such as Calendar Girls.

Mid-life crises in the middle classes this may be, but it could not be further from middle of the road.
