The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

Set Designer

 

"It`s a gloriously inventive, fluid and stream-lined version that pitches it precisely in its second world war context. The White Witch, in her gorgeous art deco sleigh, is clearly a dictator aiming for world domination, her henchmen are SS- style bullies and the final assault between forces of good and evil is played out like the Battle of Britain: images of tiny planes fly across the floor in Laura Clarkson`s superbly simple design" - Lyn Gardner - The Guardian - 4 stars

​

"The real stars of this show are Laura Clarkson`s innovative set design and Theresa Heskins` inspired direction. The audience is immersed in a magical world, where it snows, the lion roars, a stone altar splits in two and spring

flowers sprout miraculously from the stage floor"- The Stage

​

"Laura Clarkson`s design solutions are a major part of maintaining the whirl of action that enlivens the evening and reflects the constant changes and puzzles in the four evacuees` experience " - Timothy Ramsden , Reviews Gate
