based on The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
dramatized by Markland Taylor
This version of Tolkien's classic tale is written for a small cast and for live theatre. The Hobbit is Mister Bilbo Baggins, who finds himself unexpectedly included in a quest to recover the treasure of the ancient dwarves. Along the way, Bilbo and his companions encounter Trolls, Goblins, giant spiders, Elves, and eventually the mighty dragon who has stolen the treasure. This tale is the precursor to the Lord of the Rings books.
