I just wanted to fill you in on some details. C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe will be returning to the West End theater distict in London. It will run from December 6, 2001 – January 26, 2002. To be performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company, it will be performed at the Sadler Wells Theater. Might be a nice thing for Tolkien fans to do while they’re nervously waiting for the LOTR to come out. 🙂

Just wanted to let you know it seems like channel 4 in Sweden will have a report about LOTR fashion in the program Frivolt tomorrow (1/10) at 8.30 pm. First they viewed a few clips from the second trailer and then they showed some kind of fashion show and said the next program would be about “LOTR fashion”. Clothes inspired by the movies perhaps? I have no idea actually, it sounded a bit strange to me too. Well, guess I’ll find out tomorrow… 🙂

The folks at ‘CanadianChristianity.com’ have posted a review of Knizia’s LOTR Board Game. [More]
