I remember my Mum taking my sister and I to plays at the Left Bank Theatre in the school holidays in the 80s. We all enjoyed the plays immensely, Mum
included. And now, I'm enjoying the same school holiday tradition with my daughter.
Stories and More puts on a play annually, timed with the school holidays so we were excited to head along to see their production of C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe yesterday.
My daughter has a tendency to fidget when we go to the cinema but she was completely engrossed for the entire two-hour show.
The cast brought wonderful and consistent energy to the theatre and I was astounded at how well they all delivered their lines. Kudos to young Julia Glover who plays cute-as-a-button Lucy. She has obviously put in a great deal of time and energy into learning all that dialogue.
