  13. Hobbit pub's legal battle becomes playpublished at 14:35 BST 12 April 2019

    A Southampton pub's legal battle with Hollywood over its name is set to become a play.

    Nuffield Southampton Theatres said it had commissioned the play about The Hobbit in Bevois Valley, which was accused of copyright infringement in 2012.

    Sir Ian McKellen, who alongside Stephen Fry, stepped in to support the pub, paid a surprise visit to it on Wednesday while in Southampton on his UK tour, "Ian McKellen on Stage".

    Director Samuel Hodges said: "With Tolkien’s masterpiece interrogating the battle between disadvantaged man and the things the world throws at him, this is life imitating art in both senses of the phrase, and a brilliant premise for a new play."
