WELCOME Welcome to Christmas 2008 at the Lyceum!

At Christmas time it’s traditional to believe that the amazing, the magical, even the impossible can come true. Perhaps that’s why CS Lewis’s tales of Narnia hold such an enduring appeal for young and old alike, and why they seem so especially suitable for this time of year.

In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we’re taken on a journey alongside four children evacuated from the bombing of World War Two London. Exploring the old country house to which they have been moved, these young adventurers soon find themselves in a strange land of dark forests and icy beauty. And it’s in this amazing world – at once enthralling and forbidding – that they encounter fantastical creatures, talking animals and a great battle between the forces of evil led by the White Witch, and the power of good as embodied by the great lion, Aslan.

The story speaks to us on many levels – there are of course wonderful moments of action, excitement, fun and emotion for the younger members of the audience, but adults will also draw parallels between the battles in Narnia and the conflict raging outside in the ‘real’ world. The need for us all to stand together against the forces of darkness is made quite clear.

Most of all, this is a story of wonder and of joy, of finding inner strength, of confronting that which scares us and of triumphing against the odds. Not a bad way to round off one year and look forward to the next I’d say!

I hope you’ll agree and I hope that you enjoy the show. I, and everyone here at the Lyceum, wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and safe 2009.

CHARACTERS CS Lewis’s tales of Narnia have lots of wonderful characters. Here is a selection of the ones you will meet in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Peter is the eldest brother and is the brave and clever one. Susan is second eldest and is the one who looks after the other siblings. Edmund is always up to mischief and getting into scrapes – as you will see! Lucy is the youngest and always wants to know everything. She is the first to go through the wardrobe to the magical land of Narnia.

Professor and Mrs Macready The elderly Professor lives in his country house with his bossy housekeeper Mrs Macready. He has kindly taken in the four children who have been evacuated from London to be safe in the country. However he seems to know a lot about Narnia…

Mr Tumnus Mr Tumnus is a faun which is a mythical creature that looks like a human but has the legs, feet and horns of a goat. He is Lucy’s friend although the White Witch has other plans…

White Witch The White Witch calls herself the Queen of Narnia. She has cast a spell on Narnia so it is always winter but never Christmas. She has the power to turn people to stone.

Dwarf and Maugrim The Dwarf is a loyal servant to the White Witch and helps her to keep Narnia as an icy world. Maugrim is a wolf and head of the White Witch’s Secret Police.

Aslan Aslan is the Great Lion and rightful ruler of Narnia. He is very powerful but the White Witch is also very powerful.

Can Aslan with the help of the four children save Narnia from eternal winter?

Mr and Mrs Beaver Mr and Mrs Beaver are lovely friendly creatures who make friends with the children and take them to their house made of twigs and branches. They help the children find Aslan.

Father Christmas I think you all know who Father Christmas is – don’t you?

His gifts help the children as they travel through Narnia.

Merry Christmas – enjoy the show!

BEHIND THE SCENES OF A CHRISTMAS SHOW THE READ-THROUGH AND START OF REHEARSALS

TECHNICAL/PRODUCTION WEEK

The actors and the creative team arrive on the Monday morning and meet each other for the first time. Sometimes the actors will have worked together before but quite often this is the first time they will have met. Members of the Lyceum staff who will be working with them come and say hello and everyone goes to the rehearsal room to hear the cast do the first reading – or readthrough – of the play. This is great fun and lets you know what the play will be like, how the characters might appear and how long the play will be.

This is probably the most stressful time of the whole rehearsal period. On the Monday before the show begins the set is transported from the workshops in sections and then the stage crew and workshop team work hard to build the set on the stage before the show opens at the end of the week.

The lighting team and head of sound work on the lighting rigs and speakers to make sure you can see and hear the actors, and to create the right atmosphere.

The designer also shows the cast and company their design for the set. At this stage it is a model box no bigger than 3ft square. This will be turned into detailed plans and then the final full-size set.

The actors then meet every day, apart from a Sunday, in the rehearsal room to work through each scene with the director and deputy stage manager and the movement director. They begin with a warm-up every morning at 9.30 and rehearse for only four weeks!

COSTUME FITTINGS AND SET BUILD During the rehearsal period the actors are called to the workshops at Roseburn, approx 1.5 miles from the theatre, where they are fitted for their costumes.

These have been specially designed and made for them.

The Lyceum makes most of the costumes for our plays and builds all the sets for each play. As well as the wardrobe staff, there are carpenters and scenic artists.

SELLING TICKETS AND SPREADING THE WORD

There would be no point in putting on a show if we didn’t have you, the audience! The marketing team start selling tickets for the schools’ performances of the Christmas show from Easter.

The tickets for the public performances go on sale in June but the posters and leaflets have to be designed long before that.

The box office staff work very hard to make sure you get the tickets you want and the marketing team do their best to spread the word all around town that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is coming to the Lyceum. Last year over 32,000 people of all ages saw The Wizard of Oz in over 56 performances!

10

On the Wednesday the actors go onto the finished set for the first time. This gives them only a few days to get used to where everything is and where they enter and exit the stage. On the Friday they do their first full dress rehearsal where they all wear their costumes and they go straight through the show as if it was a real performance. They may do one more dress rehearsal before the first performance with an audience.

GRAND OPENING NIGHT On the opening night the actors and the technical teams are backstage getting ready for the performance. The actors do warm-ups on stage. The Front of House Manager is inside the auditorium with the ushers briefing them on the audience that night and the running time of the play. In the foyer the guests, press, actors’ friends and family, and the rest of the audience begin to arrive. Everyone takes their places around the theatre to welcome the audience. There is always an excited buzz in the half hour before the show starts. The audience are in their seats, the actors are in the wings, the Deputy Stage Manager is at prompt corner ready to start the show and then the music starts, the lights come up and it’s showtime!

CS LEWIS – ONE MAN AND HIS WARDROBE The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was the first book written in the collection of seven stories – The Chronicles of Narnia (1950-1956) –

by CS Lewis. Although written and published first, it is actually the second story in the series, after The Magician’s Nephew.

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on November 29 1898 – and this Lyceum production opened almost exactly 110 years to the day later, on November 28, 2008! CS Lewis was the son of Albert and Flora Hamilton and the younger brother of Warren, known as Warnie. When he was four years old his dog Jacksie died and Lewis insisted that everyone call him ‘Jacksie’. Eventually the name stuck and close family and friends referred to him as Jack for the rest of his life.

Lewis and his family lived in a large house called ‘Little Lea’, which had dark narrow passages and a large overgrown garden, which he and his brother loved exploring. Growing up in such an exciting environment may have played some part in creating the fictional world of Narnia, filled with trees and snow, mountains and castles. The Lewis family had a big library, where young Clive would read some of his favourite books, including Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson and The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

When he was ten years old, Lewis’s mother died of cancer, and shortly after Lewis and his brother were sent away to boarding school. Lewis hated his new school and missed his home. Throughout his teenage years he enjoyed learning about Ancient Greek myths and legends, another strong influence on the Narnia stories.

During the First World War Lewis joined the army, and fought in the trenches of Northern France.

After being wounded in battle he returned to his studies at Oxford University, later graduating with three first class honours degrees in Philosophy and Ancient History, Greek and Roman Literature, and English Literature and Language.

CS Lewis was very good friends with JRR Tolkien, writer of The Lord of the Rings. They would often chat with each other about their writing. Tolkien criticised The Chronicles of Narnia, feeling that his friend had included too much of a mixture of mythical creatures from too many different cultures – for example, Father Christmas (from Victorian British culture) in the same world as Centaurs (from Ancient Greek and Roman mythology).

Despite being heavily criticised and not well received by reviewers at first, the Narnia books, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in particular, are still some of the world’s best loved children’s stories, recently turned into blockbuster family films by Hollywood – and of course this live-action adaptation on stage at the Lyceum!

Raymond had also continued acting, touring shows to the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and off-Broadway in New York before training at RSAMD from 1991-1994. Since then he has enjoyed a rich and varied career in the theatre inducing people aged from 7 to 73, and from as far afield as Shetland to the Channel Isles, to kill, maim and injure each other, using as many different implements as possible. These have included traditional swords and shields all the way through to more obscure items, such as magical panto toadstools and even a kitchen sink!

Over the years Raymond has worked with the majority of Scottish theatre companies and on a few short films as well as episodes of Taggart and Rebus. This is his first time at the Lyceum.

LYCEUM EDUCATION ‘THROUGH THE WARDROBE’ WITH LYCEUM EDUCATION Hundreds of Primary school pupils across Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife have been ‘through the Wardrobe’ in recent weeks while taking part in drama workshops, in preparation for school visits to the Lyceum’s production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Kings and Queens of Narnia

The workshops are based on the production with plenty of opportunities for the children to join in with the adventures of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy as they battle to defeat the White Witch.

FAMILY LEARNING IN WESTER HAILES We were invited by Platform Family Learning to run some drama workshops with groups in Wester Hailes. Primary 1 pupils and parents at three schools, Sighthill, Canalview and Westburn, had fun taking part in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe drama workshop programme in November.

WHITE CHRISTMAS 12-24 December White Christmas is a treasury of Irving Berlin classics, among them ‘Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep’, ‘Blue Skies’, and the beloved holiday song, ‘White Christmas.’ Two talented song-anddance men (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) team up after the war to become one of the hottest acts in show business. One winter, they join forces with a sister act (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen) and trek to Vermont for a white Christmas. Of course, there’s the requisite fun with the ladies, but the real adventure starts when Crosby and Kaye discover that the inn is run by their old army general who’s now in financial trouble. And the result is the stuff dreams are made of...

ILLUMINATIONS 5-18 December A new documentary festival which will focuses on documentaries that we feel should be seen in a cinema, rather than on TV, that are visually arresting or that simply tell a compelling story exceptionally well. Be illuminated!

TAMERLANO & THE NUTCRACKER 21 December The Filmhouse Opera and Ballet season continues... Paul McCreesh conducts Graham Vick’s award-winning production of Tamerlano from the Teatro Real in Madrid. Plácido Domingo heads the cast, alongside Monica Bacelli, Ingela Bohlin, Sara Mingardo, Jennifer Holloway and Luigi DeDonato. Tchaikovsky’s fairytale ballet The Nutcracker is a family favourite every Christmas, and this sparkling production from San Francisco is a real treat. Damian Smith and Elizabeth Powell star in Helgi Tomasson’s magical production.
