Abstract

Nicholas Wright’s His Dark Materials (2003), Stephen Briggs’s Night Watch (2004) and Jack Thorne’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (2016) are three plays which are adapted from the well known fantasy novels: Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials Trilogy and J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series. This thesis attempts to provide a reading of these adapted plays in light of MarieLaure Ryan’s version of Possible Worlds Theory. To do so, the thesis analyzes the three plays from Ryan’s point of view by highlighting the concept of “plurality of worlds,” and themes of
“many-worlds cosmologies,” “alternate history,” and “grandfather paradox.”
