A thrilling play full of surprises

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe as a play? Impossible.

You just wouldn't be able to get the effects. At least that's what I thought when I was told about it, but I was completely wrong.

It is a story about four children who are evacuated to an old house in the country during the Blitz of the Second World War. There they find a wardrobe. Is this just another spare storage space? Not by a long shot. This is the entrance to a magical world called Narnia.

Lucy is the first to stumble through. It is under a curse of eternal winter. Always winter and never Christmas. She meets a fawn and hears about the reign of the evil White Witch.

Then Edmund enters and meets the White Witch in person and falls under her spell by eating Turkish Delight which he becomes addicted to.

Their brother, Peter, and sister, Susan, enter and their adventures take them to Aslan the Lion in a battle with the White Witch.

The stage is equipped with loads of trapdoors, brilliant scenery and fantastic backgrounds.

A thrilling play full of surprises, whether you've read the book or not.
