One Man LOTR & Star Wars at Intrepid Theatre in BCVICTORIA, 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 OrcShaky 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. Return of the King at Wolf Trap Reportmara69 writes: Last night I attended the world premiere of the Lord of the Rings – The Return of the King at Wolf Trap. It was superb. This year I was able to obtain tickets further down front than the last two years and it really made a difference. The music was clearer and the solo and choral singing much more understandable. The evening started with a 45 minute discussion with Deb Lamberton from WETA Classical Radio. Her talk on leitmotivs and interesting facts was captivating. The movie in HD on such a large screen really drew you in and you truly felt you were part of the story. The orchestra and choirs did a truly magnificent job. Kaitlyn Lusk has performed at all three of the Wolf Trap showing and is stupendous. Her voice has matured wonderfully since I first heard her perform. Nolan Peters, the boy soloist, also did a great job. I’m truly sorry that this is the last of the live music film performances. Maybe, if we’re lucky they will do the extended versions next. If not, there’s always The Hobbit to look forward too. One Man LOTR Tours the UK!100,000 characters. Nine companions. Three masterworks. One Man to do it all. Following his recent sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Canadian actor Charles Ross returns with his show One Man Lord Of The Rings for a full UK tour (plus a show in Dublin) in September. Ross first took the Edinburgh Fringe by storm when he made his UK debut with One Man Star Wars Trilogy in 2006 and its success was repeated around the UK where he has toured extensively, including two West End runs and appearances at Glastonbury Festival and the huge Star Wars Celebration Europe at London’s ExCel Exhibition Centre. ‘The Hobbit’ in Fullerton is action-packedWhen J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy tale “The Hobbit” was first published in 1937, it became an instant classic whose popularity compelled the author to write “The Lord of the Rings” as a sequel. And while the “Rings” trilogy is much darker than “The Hobbit,” the latter is still primarily considered a children’s work that’s been adapted for the stage, radio, audiocassette, CD, and as video and computer games. Lest you think that a convincing live performance could only be delivered by a theater with a budget sufficient to create the many and varied creatures found in “The Hobbit,” think again – because the minuscule Maverick Theater and sister company Improv Shmimprov have just opened a credible, often impressive live stage production based on Patricia Gray’s 1968 adaptation. More.. The Tolkien trilogy in just 3,600 secondsOn Monday 27th September at 7.30pm The Lincoln Theatre Royal will host Charles Ross’s funny and impressive show titled ‘One Man Lord of the Rings’ in which he recreates the enchanting world of Middle-earth, armed with nothing more than a pair of elbow pads and his outrageous imagination. No props or costumes are required as Ross hurtles through the Tolkien trilogy – The Fellowship Of The Ring, The Two Towers and The Return Of The King – in just 3,600 seconds of unbelievable kinetic entertainment. Like many Lord of the Rings fans, Canadian actor, playwright and self-proclaimed ‘professional geek’, Charles Ross fell in love with Tolkein’s trilogy at an early age.
