I really wanted to like this show, and there are some great cast members, costumes, and set pieces. However, every time this show attempted to engage with some of the more problematic bits of the original CS Lewis novel (i.e. racism/sexism) the punch lines were mean-spirited cheap shots that fell flat. The comedy in this show punches down, not up.

There are plenty of more self-aware comedy shows at the Fringe, go see them instead of this one.
