A TALE OF FELLOWSHIP is a true story about four young creatives, who hope to combine their artistic talents to bring positive change to the world.
Following the sudden death of his mother, a young, orphaned J.R.R. Tolkien finds solace at King Edwards school, where he meets three likeminded students. As their friendship grows, the idea of an official club is pitched – a club where the four of them can pursue their artistic dreams together. Despite heavy disapproval from their parents and guardians, a fellowship is born.
However, their courage is put to the test with the outbreak of World War 1. Each member of the group enlists and Tolkien has to say goodbye, not only to his fellowship, but to Edith, the love of his love.
The four boys continue to share their work through a series of letters and drawings, uplifting each other through their darkest hour. It’s here the first stories of Middle Earth are conceived. Can the fellowship endure the horrors of war, and if so, what will remain of their dreams?
A TALE OF FELLOWSHIP has a book, music & lyrics by Joseph Purdue.
A TALE OF FELLOWSHIP wil play at The Actors’ Church, Covent Garden, on 20th & 21st October 2023, with tickets on sale now.
