Stage & Exhibitions

CYNON Valley’s Welsh language comprehensive school has staged a special production – the first of its kind in Wales.

Re-creating scenes of author C.S. Lewis’s famed literary fantasy world of “Narnia,” Becker Group, in partnership with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Walden Media will bring to worldwide audiences “The Chronicles of Narnia: International Museum Exhibition,” a fantastical state-of-the-art educational exhibit. The massive interactive experience will premiere June 2008, to coincide with the opening of the new film, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” the second installment of the blockbuster film series based on Lewis’s beloved fictional books.

It’s a visual spectacular, but that did not stop 300 blind and partially-sighted children enjoying the delights of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. The Royal National Institute for the Blind brought the youngsters to a special performance of the CS Lewis classic being staged at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds.

Teaching 53 children and teens how to apply makeup to look like animals and mystical creatures could have been a recipe for disaster.
