Was working on Fellowship of the Ring script for a possible play I wanted to do. Should I continue? Leave your thoughts as comments.
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING ADAPTED BY ROSIE FROM THE MOTION PICTURE TRIGOY
ACT 1
SCENE 1
-THE SHIRE-
FRODO SITTING IN A WOODED AREA WITH A BOOK--MOMENTS LATER HEARING A OLDER MAN’S DISTANT SINGING.
FRODO RECOGNIZES VOICE AND SMILES AS HE RUSHES TOWARD A HORSE-LED CART IN WHICH SITS A GREY FIGURE.
FRODO DASHES UP TO CART
Frodo:
You’re late.
OLD MAN LOOKS AT HOBBIT FOR A MOMENT THEN SPEAKS
Gandalf:
A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he mean to.

THE TWO LOOK AT EACH OTHER FOR A MOMENT THEN START LAUGHING--HAPPY TO SEE EACH OTHER
Frodo:
It’s wonderful to see you Gandalf!(FRODO SAYS THIS AS HE LEAPS ONTO GANDALF’S CART AND THE WIZARD CATCHES HIM)
Gandalf:
You didn’t think I’d miss your Uncle Bilbo’s Birthday did you?
THE HOBBIT AND WIZARD BEGIN TO RIDE DOWN THE PATH AND INTO THE SHIRE
Gandalf:
So how is the old rascal? I hear his party is to be of special magnificence.
Frodo:
You know Uncle Bilbo, he’s got the whole shire in an uproar. Half has been invited and the rest are turning up anyway.
Gandalf:
Well that should please him.
FRODO’S MOOD SUDDENLY CHANGES AND AS HE BEGINS TO THINK ABOUT BILBO’S STRANGE MOOD
Frodo:
To tell you the truth...Bilbo’s been a bit odd lately. Well...more than usual. I’m, beginning to worry Gandalf...he’s up to something...
GANDALF TRIES TO ACT AS IF HE MAY NOT KNOW ANYTHING
Frodo:
All right keep your secrets.
WIZARD LOOKS AT HOBBIT SOMEWHAT INNOCENTLY
Frodo:
But I know you must have something to to do with it.
Gandalf:
Now Frodo, if you’re referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barley involved. all I did was give you Uncle a little nudge out of the door.
Frodo:
Well whatever you did, You’ve been officially labeled a disturber of the peace.
GANDALF SEEMS SOMEWHAT SARCASTICALLY SURPRISED
FRODO THEN SMILES AND STANDS IN THE CART
Frodo:
Gandalf, I’m glad you’re back.
FRODO JUMPS FROM THE CART AND WAVES TO GANDALF AS HE WALKS AWAY—*FRODO EXITS STAGE*
Gandalf:
So am I dear boy.
-GANDALF EXITS STAGE-
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————--
GANDALF RIDES ON HIS CART UP THE BAG END ROAD AND WALKS UP TO BILBO’S HOBBIT HOLE
GANDALF KNOCKS
Bilbo:
NO THANK YOU! I won’t have anymore of well-wishers or distant relations!
Gandalf:
And what about very old friends?
BILBO COMES TO DOOR AND OPENS IT SURPRISED TO SEE GANDALF
Bilbo:
Gandalf?
Gandalf:
Bilbo Baggins…
Bilbo: My dear Gandalf!
Gandalf:
One hundred and elven years old, you’ve hardly aged a day.
BOTH BEGIN LAUGHING
Bilbo: Well, come on come in! *GESTURES TO GANDALF TO COME IN THE DOOR*
*LIGHTS GO DOWN AND SET CHANGES TO INTERIOR OF BAG END*
BILBO AND GANDALF ENTER AND BILBO HOLDS OPEN THE DOOR
Bilbo: Welcome, welcome!
Frodo:
