Gormenghast

In a world bound by iron laws and dead rituals two young men are struggling to make their way: Steerpike the renegade kitchen-boy who seduces and murders his way up the social ladder and Titus Groan heir to Gormenghast who comes to threaten its very existence.<br/> John Constable famously 'pulled off the impossible' (<i>The Times</i>) with his stage adaptation of Mervyn Peake's legendary <i>Gormenghast</i>trilogy. Commissioned and produced by the David Glass Ensemble this gruesome gothic drama has since become a landmark in the history of adaptation for the stage.
