The sets are large and elegant, the various settings and lighting handsome and evocative and made even more interesting by the rich use of paint sketching and creative video design. It is a beautiful looking production, with transitions from scene to scene being seamless. ![]() 'The Book of Dust' turned out to be a marvel of a production, even better than the powerful 'Leopoldstadt' and more accessible and one of the best live cinema broadcasts from last year. Meaning the danger of over-stuffing and trying to do too much. Have seen some things that try to be ambitious but end up trying too hard, so was worried about that considering that this was an adaptation of one volume of another trilogy. ![]() ![]() This is an ambitious production of the prequel trilogy to 'His Dark Materials', and is proof that ambitious can work extremely well. Am also a big fan of Phillip Pullman's writing, with 'Northern Lights' becoming an instant favourite in particular, and have liked a lot of Nicholas Hytner's work on the stage while not considering him a favourite. Same with the opera and ballet live broadcasts from especially the Met and Royal Opera. Have always gotten a lot of enjoyment going to the cinema to see the National Theatre Live screenings, and love the authentic atmosphere and accessibility. ![]()
