Set twelve
years before the epic His Dark Materials
trilogy, this gripping adaptation revisits Phillip Pullman’s fantastical world
in which waters are rising and storms are brewing. Two young people and their
dæmons, with everything at stake, find themselves at the centre of a terrifying
manhunt. In their care is a tiny child called Lyra Belacqua, and in that child
lies the fate of the future.
Eighteen years after his ground breaking production of His Dark Materials at the National
Theatre, director Nicholas Hytner
returns to Pullman’s parallel universe. Captured live from London’s Bridge
Theatre.
In the care of two young people, is a tiny child called Lyra
Belacqua, and in that child lies the fate of the future. And as the waters rise
around them, powerful adversaries conspire for mastery of Dust: salvation to
some, the source of infinite corruption to others.
