Based on the trilogy of novels by Philip Pullman

Adapted by Nicholas Wright

Lyra and Will embark on a thrilling journey through worlds familiar and unknown. Their great quest demands a savage struggle against the most dangerous of enemies. They encounter fantastical creatures in parallel worlds – rebellious angels, soul-eating spectres, child-catching gobblers and the armoured bears and witch-clans of the Arctic.

Finally, before reaching, perhaps, the Republic of Heaven, they must visit the Land of the Dead…

Adapted from Philip Pullman’s three novels into two full-length plays, Nicholas Wright’s stage version of His Dark Materials was a triumph when it premiered at the National Theatre in 2004.

This new production directed by Rachel Kavanaugh promises to be a truly exciting theatrical event. Both parts can be enjoyed alone or together on the same day.

An excellent production. Spellbinding for the full 6 hours. I was amazed at the way so much was done with so little scenery. Loved the daemons and the witches on the ladders but most of all the cast were magnificent. How did they manage so many different parts and not make any mistakes and Lyra was just fab. Well done Rep one of your best so far.
