Gormenghast

by John Constable adapted from the novel by Mervyn Peake

Experience the world of Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake's famous gothic novel. This hugely successful adaptation allows the epic, ghostly world to develop before our eyes and inside our own minds, as Steerpike and Titus Groan battle for control of the castle and the dukedom in this great story of fantasy and revenge.

Evenings at 7.45pm, except for the Sunday performance which is at 4pm
