PanARMENIAN.Net - British actor with Armenian roots Andy Serkis is giving a continuous, live reading of "The Hobbit" – lasting around 12 hours – in aid of charity.
The actor, best known as Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" films, will read the entire book from start to finish with no breaks, The Guardian says.
Money raised from the performance will be split equally between NHS Charities Together and Best Beginnings.
Serkis said: “So many of us are struggling in isolation during the lockdown. While times are tough, I want to take you on one of the greatest fantasy adventures ever written, a 12-hour armchair marathon across Middle-earth, while raising money for two amazing charities which are doing extraordinary work right now to help those most in need.”
