Description
Music: David Bruce
Words: Glyn Maxwell
Based on the novel by Philip Pullman
A Minack Production in association with Tête à Tête
In a faraway land lives Lila, who doesn’t want to be just a firework-maker’s daughter, she dreams of becoming a firework-maker herself. But to complete her apprenticeship, she must learn the most difficult and dangerous secret of all – the one that her father refuses to tell her. So, she starts off alone on a journey harder than she could possibly imagine, a quest for hidden knowledge … an adventure through which she will learn so much more than the secret she sets out to discover.
In this enchanting show for all the family, Philip Pullman weaves a magical tale of goddesses and demons, pirates and lovesick elephants that is both enchanting and profound, a landscape that is captured perfectly in David Bruce’s vibrant music and Glyn Maxwell’s witty libretto.
