Theatre: His Dark Materials (Parts one and two), Citizens', Glasgow

Star rating: *** It's easy to see the appeal of His Dark Materials for a large, young and talent-rich company such as Scottish Youth Theatre. Among the characters populating the multiple worlds of Philip Pullman's epic are shape-shifting daemons, evil scientists and armoured polar bears, and there's certainly no shortage of high drama in this story of good and evil that reaches uncompromisingly into the realms of religion, science and philosophy.
