| His Dark Materials Part 1 & 2 | His Dark Materials Closed 16th April 2005 Part 1 and 2 tickets from London Theatre Ticket Web |  | His Dark Materials Part 1 & 2 - His Dark Materials takes us on a thrilling journey through worlds familiar and unknown. For Lyra and Will, its two central characters, it's a coming of age and a transforming spiritual experience. 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. This will be an epic production both in its narrative scope and its staging, involving artists from new technologies as well as old, and aims to create an experience as meaningful for 12 year olds as for adults. Parts I and II can be seen on separate dates, or on the same day in a double-bill. |

When the production opened this month The Financial Times commented that everything that was already good about the staging has been made to count for more, adding and the story keeps its narrative tension going to the end.
The Independent said that it catches a genuine sense of the magical. my 10-year-old companion was riveted from first to last.
When the original production opened The London Evening Standard wrote: Philip Pullman's trilogy of children's novels is compellingly transferred from 1,600 pages of text to six hours' remarkable performance time on stage. Hytner's staging has oodles of narrative zest.
