Obviously there's no such thing as movies in Lyra's world - this is evident from her surprise when she and Will go to the cinema. But I'm assuming there is theatre, as it's mentioned when Lyra's in London.
On another note - in acting, you pretend to be someone else. A different person with a different personality. And seeing as people in Lyra's world have dæmons that represent their personality, so would the characters they are playing.
And now we come to my point. The characters actors are playing would have a different personality to themselves, and therefore a different dæmon. This is easy enough to get around in our world - we just act. But what would they do in Lyra's world to get around this trivial little problem of mine? Would they dress up their dæmons in funny costumes and pretend they're a poodle when they're really a lion?
I'd really like to know what everyone else thinks - and if you think I'm crazy, feel free to let me know.
