“Narnians unite!”

Step through the wardrobe into the kingdom of Narnia for the most mystical of adventures in a faraway land.

Join Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter as they wave goodbye to wartime Britain and say hello to Mr. Tumnus, the talking Faun, Aslan, the unforgettable Lion and the coldest, cruelest White Witch!

This breathtaking stage show of C.S. Lewis’ classic novel returns to Leeds Playhouse following a successful West End and UK tour. With magical storytelling, bewitching stagecraft and incredible puppets, it is guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages.

Leeds Playhouse in association with Chris Harper Productions & Catherine Schreiber.
