"The Book of Dust – La Belle Sauvage" at Hammer Theatre Center

Hammer Theatre Center announces the return of National Theatre Live (NT Live), kicking off the series with Philip Pullmans wildly compelling "The Book of Dust La Belle Sauvage," directed by Nicholas Hytnerand. This hit stage production, which was filmed in front of a live audience at Londons Bridge Theatre, gives local patrons a chance to experience this West End juggernaut without leaving the Bay Area. The production was declared A theatrical marvel, (The Guardian), Truly extraordinary, (Variety) and A must see (Daily Mail). Set twelve years before Pullmans epic His Dark Materials trilogy, this gripping adaptation by Bryony Lavery revisits Pullmans fantastical world in which waters are rising and storms are brewing. Two young people and their dmons, with everything at stake, find themselves at the center of a terrifying manhunt in this stunning work. In their care is a tiny child named Lyra Belacqua, and in that child lies the fate of the future. What happens as waters begin to rise around them?SHOWS: 7:00pm, Thursday, June 9, 20222:00pm, Sunday, June 12, 2022
