The Birmingham Repertory Theatre is to stage the His Dark Materials stage play next year (2009) according to the Birmingham Post. The play which will have a respectable run of four weeks between March 13th and April 11th next year, will be directed by Rachel Kavanaugh. She is quoted as saying “We are one of the few theatres that can revisit these really large-scale projects … It gives us a chance to really use our large stage.” Nicholas Wright and Philip Pullman are both said to pleased at the opportunity to revisit the play on a larger scale. Tickets can be booked already through the theatre’s website (where you can also see further details about prices and timings) here. Read more about it here.
