Boy in Darkness

Work:: Boy in Darkness (S1279372473)

A Boy wanders into darkness, a land of broken things...There he meets a goat, a hyena and a lamb with diabolical schemes... The Boy escapes the oppressive Castle of his birthright on his fourteenth birthday. As he ventures into the unknown, his rebellion leads him on a descent to ancient alchemy and present danger. He must call on his wits to escape - or be trapped forever.
Book by Mervyn Peake
Adapted by Gareth Murphy

Production:: (T01174826362)

Capturing a chilling adventure in the teenaged years of Titus Groan, hero of the celebrated Gormenghast trilogy, Boy in Darkness is a gothic fairytale underpinned by Peake's rich and powerful language.
