Events on this Day

‘His Dark Materials - Part 1′ at The Rep
March 13, 2009 to April 11, 2009 Part One of a two-part story
Lyra and Will find themselves embarked on a thrilling journey through worlds familiar and unknown. Their great quest demands a savage struggle against the most dangerous of enemies. They encounter fantastical creatures in parallel worlds – rebellious angels, soul-eating spectres, child-catching gobblers and the armoured bears and witch-clans of the Arctic.
Finally, before reaching, perhaps, the Republic of Heaven, they must visit the Land of the Dead…
Adapted from Philip Pullman’s three novels into two full-length plays, Nicholas Wright’s stage version of His Dark Materials was a triumph when it premiered at the National Theatre in 2004.
This new production directed by Rachel Kavanaugh promises to be a truly exciting theatrical event. Both parts can be enjoyed alone or together on the same day.

The Moon, The Moon
April 1, 2009 to April 4, 2009 A man stands on the edge of the shore. He’s made Christmas dinner. It’s February. He’s going to walk across the water and apologise to his wife’s family.
And then he’s locked in a cellar, wearing someone else’s pyjamas. Upstairs, his self-appointed doctor and nurse say they can help him. Heal him. And the Moon, who has been watching him wander out of his mind with loss, sings to him, desperate for him to join her.
The internationally acclaimed Unlimited Theatre’s new show is a haunting and darkly witty new play about loving, losing and beautiful new beginnings – lit by a singing moon.
