The Michaelmas end of term Drama production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe captivated full houses in The Shed on Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 December. A talented cast, spanning First Form to Upper Sixth, came together to bring this magical tale to life.
This production was a shining example of collaboration and creativity. The performers displayed remarkable commitment and professionalism, supported by an equally dedicated stage crew whose behind-the-scenes work ensured the show’s seamless success.
The visual and aural imagery, from the enchanting costumes and atmospheric lighting to the evocative set and immersive soundscape, kept the audience spellbound, transporting us into the wintery depths of Narnia.
Special recognition goes to the chillingly commanding White Witch played by Evie-Rose (Lower Sixth, Queen Anne), whose presence dominated the stage, flanked by her sinister accomplices, Megan (Lower Sixth, Harcourt) and Megan (Lower Sixth, Vanbrugh). Equally memorable was the noble Aslan played by Xander (Fifth Form, Vanbrugh), radiating strength and wisdom, alongside the charming Pevensie children, whose innocence and courage anchored the story. The Beaver family brought warmth and humour, offering moments of levity that perfectly balanced the drama. The whole cast created a tapestry of magic and emotion, leaving audiences with an unforgettable theatrical experience. Bravo to all involved!
