And as the waters rise around them, powerful adversaries conspire for mastery of Dust: salvation to some, the source of infinite corruption to others.Įighteen years after his groundbreaking production of His Dark Materials at the National Theatre, director Nicholas Hytner returns to Pullman’s parallel universe. In their care is a tiny child called Lyra Belacqua, and in that child lies the fate of the future. Two young people and their dæmons, with everything at stake, find themselves at the centre of a terrifying manhunt. “Director Nicholas Hytner returns to Pullman’s parallel universe” Set twelve years before the epic His Dark Materials trilogy, this gripping adaptation revisits Philip Pullman’s fantastical world in which waters are rising and storms are brewing. Please use spoilers if you're discussing something that happens in the Book of Dust.Click here to download the official cast sheet for this performance See our spoiler policy for more information. Please don't complain that the show is worse than the books or vice versa, ask if you should read the books or watch the show (yes, you should), or ask where you can watch the show (it's going to be on the iPlayer in the UK and HBO Go in the US, and you can buy it on a number of digital stores). We don't want to see the same questions over and over. We like memes as much as the next guy, but please don't flood the sub with really low-effort ones. We will permaban for this after 1 warning. We want the show to do well, and we want Pullman to earn what he deserves for creating these books. We are not OK with reasonable discussion about religion turning into xenophobia.

We are not OK with generalizing groups of people based on inherent characteristics. No misogyny, misandry, racism, sexism, etc.This means stalkery posts about the actors or obscene comments about attractiveness. Don't be a creep, especially about the people involved in the show.The mods reserve the right to define "arsehole." Don't start flame wars, and be civil in your discussion.


Some people haven't read the books or seen the show, don't like one or the other, and that doesn't make them any less deserving of kindness.

Some people have different religious beliefs than you. Welcome to /r/HisDarkMaterials! A subreddit for fans of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, including The Book of Dust trilogy and the upcoming BBC/HBO TV series.
