Previewed by Mel S-W
Calling all Lord of The Rings fans! This Hilarious and Epic Adventure is coming to Lighthouse in Poole for one night only on Thursday 22 January 2026. This parody gives us a chance to see what happens when a local cinema’s Lord of the Rings marathon goes terribly wrong?
All hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand, the team of hapless ushers must somehow improvise an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience.
I’m ready for an uproarious evening of comedy, chaos, and utter nonsense, as the team of ushers attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits, elves, and orcs – without any visuals, any planning, or any clue what they’re doing… What could go wrong?!?
Will Frodo ever make it to Mordor? Will Aragorn get crowned king? Will Gollum stop stealing the show? Will anyone even remember who’s supposed to be who?!
It’s a show that’s more fun than a barrel of hobbits, and definitely more chaotic than a Gandalf speech. If you’ve ever wanted to see Gollum fight a battle with sound effects, or Gandalf desperately trying to remember what happens next, then you’re in for a hilarious treat
Tickets start from £25 and are available online https://www.lighthousepoole.co.uk/book-online/925001/ or by calling the Box Office on 01202 280000.
