A great picture from the bows on 16 August 2023!
From left to right: Aaron Sidwell (Aragorn), John O'Mahony (Bilbo), Elliot Mackenzie (Ensemble), Louis Maskell (Frodo), Sioned Saunders (Onstage MD/Elránien/u/s Galadriel), Charlotte Grayson (Rosie), and Patrick Bridgman (s/b Gandalf).
The Watermill Theatre interviewed Peter Dukes and Sioned Saunders about rehearsing an epic musical whilst living on site with two small children, and why they couldn’t turn down the opportunity to be in The Lord of the Rings.
Here are some excerpts:
WT: Tell us about your roles in The Lord of the Rings…
PD: I am playing Boromir. I have been obsessed with this story since I was eleven years old, so this is a dream come true. I love his passion and the grounding he brings especially as he comes into the story from a different place to all the other characters and for me that is really exciting.
SS: I’m the on-stage Musical Director, working alongside Mark Aspinal who is the Musical Supervisor and Orchestrator. My role is to make sure it all runs smoothly musically and sounds great! [...] I am part of the ensemble as well. I play an Elf called Elránien so I get to speak some Elvish and there is also some Welsh in the show, which is amazing. Elvish has really got that sound of Welsh to it, so I find it quite easy to speak. We are all actors and musicians, but this one is a bit different for me, with a lot of my focus on the Musical Direction.
WT: What does being in The Lord of the Rings mean to you both?
SS: When we got married, we had Now and for Always from the show played at the wedding.
PD: We both love the score so much, soI arranged it for Mandolin, Guitar, Violin and Vocals and it still remains one of my favourite moments of our wedding day. We also went to New Zealand on our honeymoon and visited a lot of the sites from the movies.
Read the full interview to find out more about their trip to New Zealand, their history with the Watermill Theatre, and life on site with two small children.
Massive shout-out to Sioned Saunders for taking over from Georgia Louise with only a few minutes notice yesterday, and a speedy recovery to Georgia 💚
