One Man Star Wars Trilogy

As Charles Ross puts it, “The Lord of the Rings™ and Star Wars™ Trilogy (despite its 1970s/1980s hairdos) both have something that elevates them beyond other films. Maybe it’s Alec Guinness’s effortless turn as Obiwan Kenobi, like Ian McKellen’s sublime Gandalf the Grey. Perhaps it’s the music, the epic scale, or the battle between light and darkness? Whatever it is, I’m reminded of the simplicity of childhood, feeling whisked away upon the adventures of Luke Skywalker or Frodo Baggins. Immersed in a fantasy world of lasers, swords, spaceships, and monsters – fun, FUN, FUNNNNN!”

Charles Ross has been touring One Man Star Wars™ Trilogy since 2002. There have been over 1,200 performances in more than 230 cities across four continents. From New York to London, from Dubai’s resorts to the Glastonbury Music Festival, with stops in the USA, UK, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Ireland, Singapore and New Zealand, the show has spread far and wide. After a brief outing in 2004, Ross was eventually granted official permission to perform One Man Lord of the Rings™ in 2009, since when he has toured this as extensively as its older sibling.

One Man Lord of the Rings™ and One Man Star Wars™ Trilogy are written and created by Charles Ross and directed by TJ Dawe, with lighting design by Mike Schaldmose. The UK tour is presented by Nick Brooke Limited.
