Lord of the Rings: Hobbits sing to help Berkshire theatre raise lost funds
Singing Hobbits are helping a theatre company after it lost funding.
The Watermill Theatre in Newbury is staging a musical production of Lord of the Rings to raise money after it lost £464,000 of cash from Arts Council England.
With 20 cast members and puppets, the Tolkien-inspired staging will be performed both inside the mill and in the grounds surrounding it.
The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale will run at the Watermill Theatre until 15 October.
