Lions, witches and hitches
Article Abstract:
The Royal Shakespeare Company has encountered significant challenges with the staging of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.' This book contains a great deal of magic, and it can be very hard to represent this convincingly on stage. The story is very well known, and many people have a strong mental picture of how Narnia, the magical kingdom it portrays, should look. The best approach has proved to be being as simple as possible, both with props and with costumes.
