Bryony Lavery's adaptation is lean without short-changing us on the story... The central, ideological battle between scientists and the sinister forces of the Magisterium is captured with a clean economy... The stage is action-filled with one dangerous turn after another... keeps closely to Pullman's earth-bound and realistic brand of fantasy... the ultimate Christmas show – with sacrilegious twists'— Guardian'A galloping adventure full of wonder and confusion... Bryony Lavery has streamlined, clarified and occasionally improved the story'— Evening Standard'A rollicking adaptation... Lavery carefully pares the story back to its essence: the relationship between innkeeper's son Malcolm and pot washer Alice. She also brings a key ingredient, entirely missing from the books: humour'— The Stage'A terrific piece of story-telling, confident and enthralling, a dark Christmas treat'— Whatsonstage'Ingenious and beguiling... a compelling narrative for our times... It's a testament to Lavery's adaptation that we always sense [Pullman's] conceptual complexity at the same time as being able to enjoy La Belle Sauvage as a fly-by-the-seat of your pants adventure... a narrative that richly reflects our rapidly changing world. There's a lot of great theatre playing in London right now, but this is where to head for if you're looking for something with as much intelligence and provocation as fleet-footed fun'— The Arts Desk'Truly extraordinary... playwright Bryony Lavery and director Nicholas Hytner attach jumper cables to the audience's imagination... The triumph of Lavery's deft adaptation is that scenes never feel schematic... Characterization of even the tiniest roles is instantly vivid... But it's Lavery's notable use of humor that helps keep everything buoyant... Her adaptation is a textbook example of skilled translation for the stage. It's not just a condensation; she adds characters and rethinks moments to keep a foot firmly on the accelerator... redolent of the best classic work built around young characters: it's as satisfying for parents as it is for children'— Variety'Is Bryony Lavery Philip Pullman's daemon? Her adaptation goes to the heart of Pullman's book and, daemon-like, expresses its essence. Clear and swift, it brings an extra bounce of humour to the tangle of speculation and saltiness that makes the novel at once provoking and compelling'— Observer Details ISBN 1839040300 ISBN-13 9781839040306 Title The Book of Dust La Belle Sauvage Author Philip Pullman, Bryony Lavery Format Paperback Year 2021 Pages 136 Publisher Nick Hern Books GEItemID:174856181; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
