I'm not sure how the copyright works in relation to citizenship, but it's worth looking into! I've thought about approaching small independent publishers in Canada about publishing a Narnian poetry collection or things of that sort rather than self-publishing since Amazon is an American company.
(With fourteen years till the copyright is up, some of my ideas might take that long to create anyway

I made a very condensed script of HHB for my puppet group at church when I was a teenager, but our leader said that we couldn't do it. It would probably run about thirty minutes. It's still on my old computer and I could share it here if you'd like. I made a few changes in it to make it convenient for puppetry so it really isn't suited to other types of stagecraft.
On a side note, I have been thinking that I would like to make comic book versions of some of the Narnia books. Would it be legal for me to do that now (instead of waiting until 2033) if I only published them in Canada? I'm a U.S. citizen so I worry that it would somehow break copywrite or that people might smuggle them into the U.S. and that I could be blamed.

In Canada and some other countries, the works of Lewis are now in the public domain so I've started working on my own script of the Horse and His Boy. My idea is to make the script available to churches, schools, theatre groups etc. in Canada so that it's easier for people to make productions of it.
I wanted to ask for suggestions and advice on what would matter most to you in a stage adaptation of the Horse and His Boy. What parts do you think are the most essential? What do you think could be left out? What could be added? What would you restructure? I'm open to all kinds of ideas.
I'm also playing around with the idea of making a musical version. I have several Horse and His Boy poems as a starting point for lyrics, and new ones spring to mind, but it would be quite an undertaking.

I've really enjoyed all the small one and two man shows I've seen about Lewis. Max McLean's The Screwtape Letters, his The Most Reluctant Convert, and the larger The Great Divorce by his company are all good, with Screwtape probably the most memorable, though Max plainly lacks the dedication to turn himself into an actual centipede onstage. >.>
Freud's Last Session is another show involving Lewis that is excellent, and if you can catch the one-man show of The Great Divorce by Anthony Lawton, it's my favorite of that story that I've seen, despite being smaller in scale.
You can see a little of Lawton's performance here, though the quality is poor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh2NJLYihOA
I should put together a page of these best Lewis-related shows...sadly I've never found a Narnia play that just made me want to shout with joy...the set and costume design for the PCPA version were incredible, but the songs were sub-par.
