Collaborating with co-director Michael Fentiman, Rupert Goold has vowed to banish all hints of ‘posh’, ‘period’ and ‘Enid Blyton’ from the shenanigans of siblings Lucy, Peter, Susan and Edmund as they tumble through a wardrobe and into a fantastical realm ruled by the White Witch. The new production – held in a specially designed, climate-controlled theatre tent – combines puppetry and hi-tech multimedia. Sally Dexter, Forbes Mason and Brian Protheroe star as the White Witch, Mr Tumnus and the Professor.
