Ghastliness revisited

Alice Turner01 Jul 2001, 05:58original

Last night I had absolutely galloping insomnia and in flipping around the tube landed about 20 minutes into -Gormenghast- again, an all-nighter with both parts. And I take back my Groan. It couldn't have been better company for an all-nighter (it is now 5:15 a.m.), and I obviously quit much too soon before, or wasn't in the mood. Wonderful character parts--I wish the credits had rolled more slowly. My absolute favorite was the Queen, Zoe Wanamaker, I think. (She'd be a good Duchess in Alice, wouldn't she?) It looked great and was very funny at moments. I can't imagine ever wanting to read the book again (I don't think I ever got through all three), but wouldn't mind revisiting the mini-series. It's just soaked in Shakespeare, isn't it? References from or to at least half a dozen plays. -alga
