One Man Lord of the Rings

Overview

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the QPAC darkness have it’s epic three book extravaganza story told by one man in an hour?! Come again?

It may sound too good/absurd to be true, but fear not Middle Earth fans I do not lie. Charles Ross, of One Man Star Wars Trilogy fame, has been hard at work turning the (approximately) 1200 page trilogy into a one-hour spectacle for your viewing pleasure.

Without missing any major plot points or characters, Mr Ross manages to recreate The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King from Bilbo’s birthday in The Shire through to Aragorn’s crowning at Gondor with ridiculous speed and ease. With his only prop a pair of elbow pads, his skill as an actor combined with his and the audience’s collective imagination are a thing to marvel at.

Sir Ian Mckellen aka Gandalf has already given it his blessing and confirmed, “if you liked Lord of the Rings, you’ll love Charlie Ross’ version”. Tickets are selling like they’re precious so purchase now. You'd be a fool of a Took to miss it.
