God --- Sun
Though God doesn't appear in the shape of the
Sun for the book, the actor in this production may perhaps be situated in a loft over the main stage. The sun just makes sense. Also, I don't want the first third of the play belonging to a disembodied voice.
1 Angel --- King Tirian
2 Angel --- Jewel, the Unicorn
3 Angel --- Roonwit, the Centaur
These are the three who are in charge of spreading the news throughout Narnia that change must be made and that Aslan himself will surely be coming to save them. The messengers equal the angels!
1 Good Soul --- Jill Pole
2 Good Soul --- Eustace
I made these two the characters of the good souls as those souls are called "the blessed children" within the play. The picture of Eustace doesn't show him looking like such a good soul, but I assure you he is very good in this book. To the characters of 1 and 2 Good Soul there is also innocence and questioning, as children are sure to embody.
1 Bad Soul --- A Dwarf
Though not true of all dwarfs, there were some in the book that turned against the side of good and went along with the bad armies. Thus, 1 Bad Soul represents that group of dwarfs who did wrong.
2 Bad Soul --- A Calormen
The Calormenes made up an army that would fight against the side of good, so an actor playing one Calormen would represent the whole. They weren't up to any good either, thus being labeled as 2 Bad Soul.
Jesus --- Aslan
For the win! God given a body who comes down the earth. It had to be Aslan.
1 Apostle --- Puzzle, the Donkey
More ignorant than bad, I would consider Puzzle an apostle because he ends up seeing the difference between good and evil - and choosing to follow Aslan.
2 Apostle --- Poggin, the Dwarf
A dwarf who chooses to leave his fellow non-believing dwarfs behind and follow Aslan in order to promote good.
1 Devil --- Shift, the Ape
Cunning and mischievous, and making poor Puzzle do wrongdoings, Shift later announces himself as King of Narnia. A devil indeed.
2 Devil --- Rishda Tarkaan, Captain of the Calormen Army
3 Devil --- Tash, god of the Calormenes
Both pictured here. Rishda was the leader of Calormenes focused on destroying Narnia and tricking its inhabitants into fear. Tash is simply fear personified.

Shift doesn't exactly declare himself "King of Narnia" as such, though his paper crown suggests he may have such aspirations.
