One Ring To Rule Them All

Another example of me catching the last day of a run, I managed to see the One Man Lord of the Rings, performed by Charles Ross at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre this afternoon. It was an impressive piece of acting, somewhat humorously capturing the three films of Lord of the Rings in a little over an hour. It was actually quite impressive through the use of voices, vocalizations of the soundtrack, and body movements how he was actually able to capture the spirit of the scenes, quickly morphing from one to the next. He also periodically managed to interact with the live audience as he went along, reacting to some things that were happening. The Woolly Mammoth is a nice small theater, and I think I’ll probably sign up for next year’s season subscription.
