Oops, sorry Meela.<P>What about doing the Luthien/Beren story as a shadow play? Hang the scrim down in front of the stage, and have the actors/actresses behind it. The giant wolf (I can't recall his name at the moment) could be done by moving him closer to the back than the actors. Same with the Hound (whose name also momentarily escapes me). And that would solve the problem of Luthien being the most beautiful woman in the world because the audience would be able to use their imaginations.<P>BTW, Natalie Portman as Luthien!? Perish the thought! I would forever curse the director for choosing <I>Padme Amidala</I> as my favorite character in all of Tolkien's work. (I am not a huge fan of the new Star Wars movies if you can't tell)
