His Dark Materials

Fri 13 Mar 2009Sat 11 Apr 2009

Based on the trilogy of novels by Philip Pullman

Adapted by Nicholas Wright

Tickets £10 to £32, concessions and dual tickets discount available

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.

I came over from the States to see the second run of this at the National. I wonder if I can do it again...

Good luck with the show, have already got my tickets and the next few months can't go by quick enough. Looking forward to seeing the casting as and when it is announced.
