For the first time in the history of the performing arts in Sri Lanka, the use of an ingenious combination of traditional theatre and awe inspiring special effects with ground-breaking video and lighting illusions/projections will play a pivotal role in the success of this production.
This tool will enhance the visual aspect of the play and the audience will now be able to feel the thrill of battle, the warmth of camaraderie and the mesmerising beauty of a parallel world.
The Drama Society of S. Thomas’ College Mount Lavinia is the oldest performing arts society in Sri Lanka and boasts a rich history and tradition. The Society was founded in 1872 and ever since, has staged many productions such as Antigone (2005), Nickleby (2009), Oliver – The Musical (2001) and was recently adjudged winners of the Shakespeare Drama Competition in 2011 with a hilarious comedy – The Taming of the Shrew. Last year, the Society performed a farce, Cash on Delivery by Michael Cooney.
The cast of 60 brings back the classic tale of the four young children who ventured into a wardrobe and battled the terrifying evil that holds the entire world under her thumb. The intensive practice sessions leave the cast and crew parched, tired and bruised; yet craving for more and more.
Expect nothing but a magical performance from the thespians of S. Thomas’ College, Mount Lavinia, as they bring you ‘The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe’; directed by Vinodh Senadeera and produced by Marlon Jesudason at the Lionel Wendt Theatre on 7, 8, 9 and 10 November.
Join in the adventure of a lifetime. Welcome to Narnia.
