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.
John Constable famously 'pulled off the impossible' (The Times) with
his stage adaptation of Mervyn Peake's legendary Gormenghasttrilogy.
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.
