The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Harrogate Dramatic Society are bringing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to the Harrogate Theatre from Wednesday 20 October to Saturday 23 October. It's Glyn Robbins' stage adaptation of C.S. Lewis' classic, directed by Sue Rawson and Mark Nicholls.

If you know the story, you know the setup: four siblings — Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie — evacuated to the countryside during the Second World War, stumble upon a magical wardrobe that opens onto Narnia. It's a land held in eternal winter by the spell of the White Witch, and the children have to join forces with Aslan, the great lion, to break that winter and restore peace. The society describes it as a story of courage, loyalty, sacrifice and the triumph of good over evil.

It's billed as an amateur production and a family adventure, so it's the sort of thing that works as well with kids in tow as it does on your own. The production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd.

Performances run Wednesday through Saturday, all starting at 7:30pm, with a Saturday matinee at 2:30pm for those who prefer a daytime trip. Tickets are £20.00, and the show is in the Main House at the Harrogate Theatre on Oxford Street in the town centre.
