The Hobbit

by Kim Selody with additional dialogue by Tim Carlson and Peter Carlone

Pacific Theatre

Two actors, and a dragon’s hoard of theatre magic, bring JRR Tolkien’s storytelling masterpiece The Hobbit to life.

“The essence of the production is the cleverness and fun with which the actors and stage transform from one moment to the next to drive the narrative forward… Director McLean has them cleverly use all of the set and props, and they seem free to improvise commentary at will, some of which was very funny on opening night.”

Jerry Wasserman, Vancouver Plays

“Brilliantly brought to life by two energetic performers, this show miraculously balances creative storytelling and a highly imaginative set, while delivering a generous slice of laughs along the way.”

Vancouver Christmas Guide

“The play slips back and forth through these layers, lighting the story with energy. This needs skill to pull off, found in Laura McLean’s clear, and the actors protean powers. The play manages to include all Tolkien’s adventures and moves along at a rapid clip, interspersed with moments of reverie and comedy.”
