Bilbo's lost journal? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ainaserkewen · 10-01-2003, 10:22 AM

Hai, walking down the hall the other day, I saw a friend of mine wearing a sweatshirt that said "Bilbo's lost journal" Rainbow youth theater. Rainbow youth has been doing plays for kids for ages(I used to act in the plays myself) Last year, they did the Hobbit, and it was very cute. This year, I guess they did Bilbo's lost journal. I asked my friend where they had gotten the script. She said the woman who directed the play wrote it.<A HREF="http://www.rainbowtheatre.com/2003bilbo.html" TARGET=_blank>Rainbow youth theater</A>Is this allowed? I mean, they made quite a bit of money off this. I'm getting my friend to lend me the video tape of the play so I can see what it's like, but I wonder how this Kymme Patrick person got the rights to do this.They've used all the normal characters, Lord Thingol/Celeborn Tom Bombadil young Sam Gamgee Bilbo Thorin Bofur Gollum Galadriel/Lady Melain young Legolas young Frodo and Gandalf This woman's written a published story from after Bilbo's adventure, to when he adopts Frodo! I can't wait to see it,[ October 01, 2003: Message edited by: Ainaserkewen ]

it shouldnt be allowed, because the seven rings were destroyed! sheesh you think some people would actually research stuff first!

How could Melian and Thingol be in it? They would have been long dead...

Ainaserkewen · 10-06-2003, 01:37 PM

I know...but my friend assures me it was researched. Hmmmm...

Young Legolas?! The play would have to be set a loooooong time before Bilbo was bor to have a young Legsy.

Hmm...I thought the rights to that were all tied up or whatever...interesting. And yeah, maybe it was younger Legsy? [ October 07, 2003: Message edited by: Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 ]

It is not illegal to write the play and perform it but making money off of it is a different story. *Cough*People that abuse file sharing.*Cough*
