Transcript

Tolkien responds to Mr Tiller regarding a dramatic or semi-dramatic representation of The Lord of the Rings. He questions whether listeners unfamiliar with the original text would grasp the plot or understand what is happening, as the condensed space might oversimplify the narrative.

Tolkien suggests that the book is unsuitable for dramatic representation within the small amount of allotted time.
