The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“Safe?... don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”

Back by popular demand, 9th Hour Theatre Company brings the Deep Magic of Narnia to the Ottawa stage once again with the beloved characters and timeless story by C.S. Lewis. Rediscover the magic of Narnia this Christmas through the magic of theatre with this classic tale of good and evil, talking animals, the bravery of children, and a sacrifice of love.

The story begins with the land of Narnia frozen in a perpetual winter of darkness and despair, seemingly all under the dominion of the White Witch. Though the Great Lion Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest, bringing with him an end to the long winter, and making an ultimate sacrifice of love, culminating in a battle between good and evil. Entering at a moment of high adventure in the story are the four Pevensie children, transported from our world in war time through a magical wardrobe where they embark on a quest to save Narnia from the White Witch meeting various Narnians along the way including Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, Father Christmas, and Aslan himself.
