Theatrical sorcery will be front and centre in the new stage version of the beloved Disney film Bedknobs And Broomsticks.
The 1971 movie musical starred Angela Lansbury as Miss Eglantine Price, an apprentice witch trying to conjure up duff spells, sold to her by fake magician Professor Emelius Browne (David Tomlinson), to stop the enemy from invading wartime Britain.
Her magical war efforts are taking place as her own life is being invaded: by three children, evacuated from London and sent to live with her in the quaint coastal village of Pepperinge Eye.
I saw the film as a kid and was amused, years later, to learn that, like Mary Poppins, it was all filmed on Hollywood sound stages!
