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.

Very cool "pre-show" bit. Great cast, especially the actors playing Keanu Reeves and Orson Welles. All sound effects are generated live with an impressive set of props. Very fun overall.

My only quibble is that the whole cast should come out at the end of the show for the final round of applause. You guys deserve to take a bow.

The talented team at the Grindstone have served up yet another banger of a show. You can see that the cast are having a lot of fun while they sing some (very) silly songs, and it is a blast to watch it all unfold.

The three skits are fun and the accompanying video/slideshow presentation is very well-done. Slightly unhinged in a very good way.
