“Tautly directed by Peter Flynn, it makes for an enjoyably gripping evening of theater. Even the music that plays during suspenseful moments, original music by Brian Feinstein, a device that often registers onstage as jarring and hokey these days, adds a delicious shiver.”
- Aileen Jacobsen (NY Times critic)
Based on the timeless novel by C.S. Lewis,
"The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe"
