Set twelve years before the epic His Dark Materials<\/em> trilogy, this gripping adaptation revisits Philip Pullman\u2019s fantastical world in which waters are rising and storms are brewing.<\/p>\n

Two young people and their d\u00e6mons, 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. And as the waters rise around them, powerful adversaries conspire for mastery of Dust: salvation to some, the source of infinite corruption to others.<\/p>\n

Eighteen years after his ground breaking production of His Dark Materials<\/em> at the National Theatre, director Nicholas Hytner returns to Pullman\u2019s parallel universe. Broadcast live from London\u2019s Bridge Theatre.<\/p>\n
