Hello everyone,

Does anyone know of a two hour full length version of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"? I found one on Dramatic Publishing that claims to be full length, but only has 55 pages, so I doubt that it'd be two hours.

If anyone knows of a version, please contact me!

Thank you,

Matt

I've found a version by a playwright in England

(Adrian Mitchell with Oberon Publishers)

unfortunately, as far as I can tell,

it seems only Dramatic Publishing has the rights

for North American performances.

best version ever - the Royal Shakespeare Company version

remember that there are LOTS of special effects, war scenes, etc!

Is the RSC version available for production in the United States?

I recently did a tour of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We used the script by Joseph Robinette. I think that the play was not quite 2 hours (not exactly sure how much less). However, it in no way seemed too short. I have also read the Don Quinn script, and I did not like it as well as the Joseph Robinette.

not sure about the availablity ... however, don't let 55 pages fool you - there is lots of stage action. For example, a script only needs to write "they fight" - and you have a ten minute scene!
