andystone Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Has anyone seen either part of the His Dark Materials productions at the National yet? Unfortunatly I won't be able to get to see it (unless they extend the run?)... Would really love to hear about it though.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I got tickets for HDM last year, unfortunately I didn't make it to part 1, but went to see part 2 and to be honest I was a bit disappointed, probably 'cos the guys at the NT had given it such a big build up and told me how wonderful it was, that when I got to see it in the flesh it couldn't live up to build up.

peter Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 I'd concur with that, Andy. I enjoyed it as a production, but I thought it wasn't quite worth all the hype. I don't know how much of the production was a remount and whether there were many cuts between the first run and the one I saw. However, as I've said before, I would thoroughly recommend reading the books, which truely are magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I've just seen it. Both parts in one day. I think that I would have been disappointed seing both halves separately I think there were a lot of interesting features, and the droom played as big a part as any of the other actors. I think that as someone who reads and enjoys fantasy material I enjoyed watching someone take on the challenge and not being put off but some of the more fantastic elements of the show. I could not see it being staged anywhere else due to its reliance on the Olivier's facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
