In the lead up to the staging of the play, we'll be featuring regular updates from the cast and the crew on rehearsals as the premiere draws nearer.

  2. Kyra says:

    Wow. Olivia looks really different there. I don't think she'd make a bad Lyra at all.

  3. dragonfly says:

    I SWEAR I've seen that big picture of her before. Anyone know what else she's done?

  4. Wytchbabi says:

  5. dragonfly says:

    To clarify: I mean the sort of dark, not-colorful-but-I'm-not-actually-sure-it's-"black-and-white" picture showing her face. Thank you to anyone who might know and post any information on this.

  11. Arcticfox says:

    Theo has done mostly Playbox work, as have most of the cast. I think its only Calum (playing will) and the girl playing Hester the rabbit who have done anything outside of Playbox. Both preformed at the RSC!!!
    Olivia was very almost in Narnia though!
