The Magician’s Nephew takes a magical and breathtaking journey to Narnia at the time of its creation. Young Digory and his friend, Polly, discover a way to explore other worlds but in doing so, inadvertently release a malevolent queen into the universe who could bring complete destruction to every world in the cosmos.

This visually stunning production tells a profound story of what it means to do the right thing in the face of great evil and promises to inspire audiences of all ages.

“We’re very excited to be the first company outside of the Shaw Festival to produce this exciting new Canadian adaptation,” said Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre’s executive/artistic director. “Cast members and audience members alike are in for a rewarding and unique theatre experience.”

Directed by Gabe Kirkley, the play will feature up to 15 actors, some playing multiple roles. Kirkley is a Lower Mainland theatre director, playwright and marketer, and will also be responsible for creating the show’s sound and projection design.
