The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe stage tour | Meet Aslan

Ahead of the touring production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Aslan actor Chris Jared had the chance to meet his puppet counterpart!
The show will begin at Curve in Leicester on 2 November 2021, before travelling to Aylesbury, Southampton, Sunderland, Salford (where it plays a six-week winter season), Cardiff, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Canterbury, Plymouth, Glasgow, Birmingham, Dublin, Woking and finally completing the tour in Norwich on 9 April 2022.
Puppetry director Toby Olié, who created Aslan alongside puppet designer Max Humphries, explains that the ancient creature is look "made of terra cotta - like a piece of ancient pottery as if he was there before anyone else."

I don't think I've ever been more upset that international travel is so hard. I *love* puppets, and the Aslan puppet is absolutely *stunning* and I'm certain it would be magnificent to see on stage
