Here we have one of the most overlooked characters in The Lion, the Witch, and Wardrobe: the lamppost. The young lady portraying it clearly takes her job very seriously. She shows no emotion, as a pole made of metal and glass would, and should. Other members of the play’s cast might have danced and cavorted around her, wept and laughed, overacted; but she remains stiff and stoic, handling the role as an honor, even if she had been overlooked for the more plummy parts.
