a lot of actors who were not yet famous in the 1980s, most of them playing multiple roles (Bob Peck is John Browdie *and* Sir Mulberry!)
I regret that Ben Kingsley and Timothy Spall were not part of the cast that transferred to Broadway, because it means they're not on the recording, but Alun Armstrong is and so Ian McNiece and so is John McEnery, who almost never appeared on film.
-- which struck me as an attitude to recreational drugs that I hadn’t encountered before.
Me neither, and I think it speaks well of Mirren that she thought of it.
