When this adaptation of C. S. Lewis’s classic children’s story opened at the RSC Stratford in November 1998, it received rave reviews and broke box office records.

Four children are evacuated from London during the Blitz. While exploring the Professor’s house, they stumble across the gateway to another world, and the adventure begins. The land of Narnia is under the spell of the wicked White Witch, and the four very quickly find themselves caught up in a deadly struggle between good and evil.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a beloved tale that continues to capture the imagination of both children and adults alike, offering a timeless journey filled with bravery, friendship, and the battle between light and shadow.
