Darkness Illuminated

"Robert Butler's intimate back stage account takes us into workshops, rehearsals and production meetings where, over six months, Pullman's 1300-page trilogy about daemons, armoured bears and parallel universes was transformed into six hours of drama. Lavishly illustrated with over fifty rehearsal and production photographs, this fascinating book is sure to appeal to both Philip Pullman's fans and all those interested in how such an epic theatrical production is brought to life for a live audience"--Book Jacket.
