About the Play 
The Hobbit is a full-length drama adapted for the stage by Patricia Gray, based on the classic J.R.R. Tolkien novel of the same name. Bilbo Baggins is swept up with Thorin Oakenshield and his company of dwarves, along with Gandalf the Grey, to slay Smaug the Dragon and win back their stolen treasure. The adaptation, officially authorized by Professor Tolkein in 1968, includes all the fictional characters of Tolkein's beloved epic tale of magic, treasure, and dragons. This production will be directed by Hannah Slaughter.
