Narnia ready to hit the stage
Fight scene: Lachlan Moore, Tom Barker and Ben Martin practice their best fighting faces for one of the battle scenes that takes place in Narnia.
IT is the final week of rehearsals for the cast of Narnia which opens on Friday night and promises to be another fantastic Lyric Theatre production.
Demand for tickets has been brisk in anticipation of a great show for all the family.
Preparations are nearing completion on construction of the set which has been built in Mesley Hall at Leongatha while the costume team is busy adding the finishing touches to the many costumes.
Narnia is based on the well known children’s story The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis.
The story revolves around the four Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, who are sent to Professor Digory Kirke‘s manor in the English countryside during World War Two.
They discover a wardrobe in house that leads to the magical land of Narnia.
The four children enter Narnia at a time of high adventure and come away with lessons of courage; selflessness and wisdom that will help them grow.
They learn that education doesn’t always come from a classroom with doors and windows.
The children help King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia to save the world from the evil White Witch, who has reigned over the land for a century of perpetual winter.
Opening night, which will be a gala night is on Friday, July13. There are 12 shows in total over three weekends at Mesley Hall, including four matinee shows.
Tickets are selling fast for the show and are on sale now from Mushroom Crafts in Leongatha or you can call the ticket office on 5662 3940.
