While I never had the opportunity to take in the stage adaptation of His Dark Materials, it seems worth noting that there is going to be a similar adaptation of The Book of Dust on the horizon, specifically the first part.
According to What's On Stage, the production will finally wind its way on stage at the Bridge Theater in central London around Christmas 2021. I'm not sure how much involvement Philip Pullman has in these things, but it is something I would love to see. If for nothing else but to witness the sheer technical wonder of dealing with all the inevitable water in that flood that pours through La Belle Sauvage.
Once upon a time I took in a lot of live theater, and developed quite a fondness for it. I suppose the last stage performance I saw was at the Fox Theater in Atlanta a few years ago. At this point in our global health crisis, let's face it - even going out to the movie theater to see Godzilla vs. Kong evokes feelings of transcendent joy. While I may not be making it to London anytime soon, I have to say I would recommend, and I personally would probably be even more eager to see this than Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ....
