REVIEW: The lion, the witch and the wardrobe

2:48pm Thursday 11th December 2008

The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe 26 November - 17 January Rating: 3/5 The Birmingham Rep’s stage has been transformed into the otherworldly land of Narnia this Christmas as the CS Lewis’ tale of ‘The Cildren of Adam’ becomes a seasonal classic.
