Here is an entertaining and innovative treatment of the classic C.S. Lewis story. The heroic tale of love, faith, courage and giving; the life and death struggle for control of Narnia and the grandeur of the triumph of good over evil has enthralled audiences of all ages.
This unique and excellent two-actor adaptation was toured by The Lincoln Center.
This delightfully theatrical and engaging adaptation brings the full story to life and captures the power of Lewis' famous novel in a short space.
