a quick reply for now re: the stage production: iirc, there was widespread derision here on the Downs and elsewhere in Tolkiendom about the Toronto production long before opening night. Now that the show has moved to London, at least the UK Downers have stopped crying over spilt milk and are off to lap the London production up.

There is no copyright on the imagination, copyright being a legal fiction.
