And now we have two Billys involved with this production: Layton Williams and Josh Federick (per the latest post in Josh's thread).

I think Bourne has found the Billy gold mine. 8-) :D

Here's a set of excellent production photos for Lord of the Flies from New Adventures' facebook page. Layton is featured in two of these.

LOTF will return to the city where the Tour began, Glasgow, in June:

It sounds as though it is a stunning success.
