The Art of Darkness: Staging the Philip Pullman Trilogy
by Robert Butler
Synopsis
Philip Pullman's award-winning trilogy "His Dark Materials" had everything Nicholas Hytner, the new director of the National Theatre, could want for a modern audience, but for one thing: it was almost impossible to stage.
Robert Butler's intimate backstage account takes us into the meetings, workshops and rehearsals where, over six months, Pullman's 1300-page novel--about daemons, armored bears and parallel universes--was transformed into six hours of drama.
