Overview

Two young children and their demons, risking everything, find themselves at the centre of a terrible manhunt. They have under their protection a little girl, Lyra Belacqua, on whom the fate of the future depends. As stormy waters surround them, powerful adversaries conspire to conquer Dust, which for some represents redemption, while for others a source of rampant corruption. Eighteen years after the sensational production of His Dark Materials at the National Theatre of England, director Nicholas Hytner revisits Pullman’s parallel universe with a fascinating adaptation of the Book of Dust.
