Commissioned by the leading actor Alastair Sim (1900-1976) The Brass Butterfly was Goldings only original stage play. Starring Sim himself, and also the popular actor George Cole, it opened for a provincial pre-West End run in Oxford in early 1958 and premiered at the Strand Theatre in London in April. In his biography of Golding, John Carey describes it as a comic scherzo dealing with the conflict between science and religion, transposed to the Greco-Roman world of antiquity.
