Charles Ross, creator of the worldwide hit One Man Star Wars Trilogy, returns to Australia with his hilarious follow-up One Man Lord of the Rings. In this 60 minute show, Ross hurtles his way through the entire Tolkien trilogy - The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King - recreating the magical world of Middle-earth and all its enchanting characters. In 3600 seconds Charles manages to complete Frodo's epic journey from the Shire to the fire - armed with nothing more than a pair of elbow pads and his outrageous imagination.
Riveting stage fights, harrowing rescues, brilliant vocal sound effects. Ross captures every character without props or costumes at lightning speed. Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Legolas, the majestic Gandalf and the malicious Gollum are all re-enacted with such hilarious speed - it is an amazing spectacle to watch. If you've seen the movies or read the books you'll love Charles Ross performance of One Man Lord of the Rings.
