“It is very silly to shut oneself into a wardrobe, even if it is a magic one.”
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Adapted from C.S. Lewis’ novel by Ron Reed
Presented by Burnt Thicket Theatre
Directed by Stephen Waldschmidt
Featuring Keisha Mowchenko and Tim Bratton
Peter and Lucy Pevensie are young adults when they return to that most peculiar wardrobe and find themselves caught up once again in the wintry world beyond the enchanted lamp post. Together they relive their unforgettable childhood journey through Narnia, where the White Witch’s forces battle against the return of the realm’s rightful king, the Great Lion Aslan.
This acclaimed two-actor adaptation brings the beloved story to life with a throng of magical characters, inviting audiences of all ages into Narnia’s wonder through imagination, adventure and theatrical magic.
