Adapted by Stephen Russell, The Firework-Maker's Daughter is award winning children's writer Philip Pullman's brilliant and inspiring story about Lila, who dreams of becoming a firework-maker just like her father. Her hopes are dashed when her father tells her it is no job for a girl. Setting out in secret for Mount Merapi in search of the elusive royal sulphur, Lila faces pirates and supernatural creatures until Chulak arrives to help her with Hamlet the elephant. And soon she must return to save her imprisoned father with a firework display that must rival the best on earth! Fun for all the family, and fizzing with drama and magic, The Firework-Maker's Daughter opened at Birmingham Stage in November 2010.
