– One of the main characters is a witch. She performed magical tricks that turn people into stone. She is portrayed as evil and may be scary to young children.

– Magic is mentioned throughout the play.

– Tumnus tries to lure Lucy to sleep with tea and his flute playing. This scene could be disturbing for children. He also calls himself a kidnapper and talks of his job to kidnap innocent children.

– There are mentions of spies in the woods.

– The witch mentions that they should not “spare the whip on the reindeer”, signaling a type of abuse to the animals.

– A female student is playing a male centaur.

– The character of Fenris Ulf might be a little scary for children.

– Edmund eats Turkish Delight from the witch and goes under her spell.

– There are several fight scenes in the play, and Edmund gets whipped by the White Witch. Edmund’s hands are also tied behind his back.

– Enemies of the white witch are turned to stone and referred to formerly being “alive”.

– The white witch tells Fenris Ulf, Chief of her secret police to kill anyone that gets in his way.

– Peter is bitten by Fenris Ulf

– Peter plunges his sword into Fenris Ulf in a fighting scene. There is a part of the scene that focuses on the blood left on the sword. Fenris Ulf ultimately dies because of this fight.

– The witch holds a dagger over Edmund’s head and threatens to kill him.

– The witch talks about having the right to kill.

– Fenris Ulf and the White Witch both mention killing the children.

– The witch and her army members bind Aslan’s hands and feet, shave him, muzzle him, place him on an altar and kill him.

– There is a major battle scene between the witch, her army, Aslan, the four siblings and other followers of Aslan. There are deaths played out throughout this scene including the witch who is slain by her own sword. Aslan also brings many characters back to life during this portion of the play.
