The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Dramatized by Joseph Robinette from the story by C.S. Lewis

Masquers production, directed by Isabelle Hammond

This dramatization of C.S. Lewis' classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. The intense action features chases, duels and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan.
