Artistic Director, Stewart McGill says, \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cWe loved Nicholas Hytner\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s epic staging at the NT, yet we feel what we want to do is rekindle the imagination with our production, so the show will use movement, aerial artistry, and some of the finest young actors aged 14-25 to grace the stage. Our designer Kate Unwin is immersing herself in the trilogy and we hope our work will be a beautiful alternative to the previous production. It will be an active partnership between creators, actors, material and audience making the worlds of the books in an entirely new, non-pictorial way. We welcome fans of the novels and hope that groups and individuals will spend time here for both parts. Dates are being finalised right now and booking will open in November. As a passionate devotee of the books I can\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t wait to start rehearsals with the creative team and the performers. I think our approach may be a little darker than the National\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s, a journey of souls\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6 a rather special event for us all\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d.<\/p>\n
