“It’s like old times,” said Lucy. “Do you remember our voyage to Terebinthia—and Galma—and Seven Isles—and the Lone Islands?” “Yes,” said Susan, “and our great ship the Splendour Hyaline, with the swan’s head at her prow and the carved swan’s wings coming back almost to her waist?” “And the silken sails, and the great stern …
Along the lines of the lamppost post (punny!) below: it’s not so hard to create a Narnian costume, even a group one. This trio used an expert hand in theatrical makeup along with some simple costumes and props: fur coat, Halloween wig, white garments, and a nicely painted cardboard box, with hangers. It gets the …
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.

Here’s a number of interesting White Witches that I found over the course of a year. The above one is of Jadis in her… chariot! She kept it stored in her garage in case the snow melted. In the Walden movie it was pulled by polar bears. Another unusual one is this fiber arts White …
In part two of this series I’m going to concentrate on more… aspirational Maugrims. For example, who says Maugrim has to be male? None of these were from a Narnia production, as far as I know, but I’m including them to show the variation when costuming a wolf character. Now, imagine the impact on stage …
