The Hobbit – Hope Players

The Hope Players production of The Hobbit adapted for the stage by Glyn Robbins, opens at the ADC Theatre on the 20th of April 2011.

While relaxing in his garden, Bilbo Baggins is surprised by the wizard, Gandalf the Grey. Gandalf informs Bilbo he is seeking an adventurer to join him on a quest. Though initially interested, Bilbo decides against such a worrisome journey. The following afternoon Gandalf arrives at Bilbo’s doorstep accompanied by thirteen insatiable, raucous Dwarves. After trying to entertain the unexpected party, Bilbo reluctantly joins the thirteen Dwarves on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain: an ancient Dwarven establishment that had been taken over by a terrible fire-drake named Smaug.

One Man LOTR & Star Wars at Intrepid Theatre in BC

VICTORIA, BC – Intrepid Theatre invites you to celebrate your inner geek with our 4-day Charles Ross-a-thon. Back by popular demand, Charles Ross is performing not one, but two of his world-famous one-man shows as a fundraiser for Intrepid Theatre on November 3-7 at the Metro Studio. From Off-Broadway in New York to London’s West End, Ross has sold out his one-man cult hit shows across the globe and gathered critical acclaim along the way. ‘A total theatrical genius,’ CBC Radio (Five Stars), he is ‘funnier than you could possibly imagine’ (Spin Magazine).

One-Man Lord of the Rings takes you on a journey through J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece in 60 frenetic and entertaining minutes. Ross does it all in this hilarious, epic one-man show – booming special effects, riveting stage fights and harrowing rescues. Similarly, his first show, One-Man Star Wars recreates the magic of the Star Wars Trilogy in a ‘finely tuned minimalist feat’ (Charleston City Paper) of brilliant solo theatrics. These shows are appropriate for all ages. Partial proceeds go to One-Man Lord of the Rings and One-Man Star Wars are written and performed by Charles Ross.



Stage: My Inner Orc

Shaky Isles Theatre presents MY INNER ORC by Allen O’Leary – A play about actors, Lord of the Rings and the fans who love them. Set in Croydon. Following sell-out performances at the Riverside Studios and the Camden Fringe, Shaky Isles Theatre return to the Pleasance for a limited two week run of Allen O’Leary’s My Inner Orc. In an affectionately satirical new play, two actors find themselves pitted against Lord of the Rings fans with plans of magic and mayhem. Model-turned-actor Karl must grow up fast and find his ‘inner orc’ to help the star and organiser of the Convention escape two over-zealous fans threatening seduction, extortion and black-mail.

O’Leary’s play took its starting point from the actors he knew who worked on Peter Jackson’s trilogy of films and came to London to capitalise on their experience at Conventions. In Rings fans he found a world of people with a sense of camaraderie, nobility and a higher purpose, attracted to the simplicity of an epic life.
