The young prince is now about to lead an army of so-called Old Narnians in rebellion to Mraz. Sanjay Talwar, as Miraz, fights Blair as Peter, in Prince Caspian. Prince Caspian (Michael Man), a relatively nice Telmarine set to be the 10th king in his line, might have been open to giving the land back to its original caretakers when crowned – but his evil uncle Mraz (Sanjay Talwar) attempted to murder him and he has now gone into exile in the forest as well. To briefly sum up Trumpkin’s summary: A group of humans known as the Telmarines conquered Narnia centuries ago – and all of its magical creatures fled into a forest. The next narrator is a dwarf named Trumpkin (Shane Carty) who fills in the four Pevensie siblings Peter (Kyle Blair), Susan (Marla McLean), Lucy (Kiana Woo) and Edmund (Andrew Lawrie) on everything that has take place in the realm of the great Aslan the Lion since the events of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, after they are suddenly summoned to the ruins of their old castle. She speaks directly to the audience, noting sagely that going to the theatre is not unlike walking through a wardrobe into another fantastical dimension. The Doctor (Fiona Byrne), who is half-human and half-dwarf, is the first narrator of the show. So, I, for one, appreciated all the recapping that kicks off Prince Caspian – as adapted with eloquence by playwright Damien Atkins, and staged with vigour by Molly Atkinson in a jam-packed production currently on at the more intimate Royal George Theatre.
Lewis’ seven classic children-oriented chronicles of Narnia (originally published between 19), owing to the pandemic, it feels as if roughly a millennium has gone by since The Horse and His Boy was seen in the Festival Theatre in 2019. While it’s only been four human years since the Shaw Festival last staged a theatrical adaptation of one of C.S. It’s not that difficult to relate to their experience, really. When the Pevensie children are suddenly transported back to Narnia at the beginning of Prince Caspian, only a year has passed in their lives in England since their last visit – but over 1,000 years of history have taken place in the magical land that they once ruled as kings and queens.
