Stage Adaptation
From December 2003 to March 2004, London's Royal National Theatre staged an adaptation of His Dark Materials. The role of Lord Asriel was played by Timothy Dalton (Dalton played James Bond, whom Daniel Craig, who stars as Lord Asriel in the film, also plays).

Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or adaptation:
“The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.”
—Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)
“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
