TUESDAY, December 31st, New Year's Eve at The Dickens Project: It's Not Over Yet!

Today we share the last words of The Dickens Project. And because The Project is many things, so are the words.

Join us in Dickens Square at 1pm, for THE LAST WORDS: Dubhna Rhiadra shares another short story from the imagination of H.G. Wells; Kayden Oconnell & Caledonia Skytower present Elsie Brown's "Shady Plot"; and Cale wraps it up with Maeve Binchy's tribute to the tradition of New Years celebrations: "One Night A Year."

And even THAT is not the end of it!  We'll have one more turn on New Year's Day itself before we swing the cover closed on this edition of The Dickens Project.  We are staying open an additional day so that YOU can join us for music and dancing from Noon-4pm New Years Day.

Today's session is 90 minutes. All times SLT

MONDAY, December 30th at 7PM: GREY Concludes

Gyro Muggin’s concludes his reading from Mercedes Lackey’s The Wizard of London, the 4th volume in the Elemental Masters series.

Set in a Victorian London where magic is real and Elemental Masters control the powers of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, the novel follows Lord Alderscroft, Master of the British Elemental Masters Council-the most powerful Fire Master ever to lead the Council. Loosely based on The Snow Queen, The Wizard of London delves into Lord Alderscroft’s youth, when he was bespelled by an evil Elemental Master who hoped to use him for political gain.

In Grey, Sarah Jane is sent from her home in Africa to school in London because her parents felt it would be better for her health. But given the conditions in London, however, she might have been safer in the African jungle.

Presented in Voice back at our home branch at Holly Kai Park

SUNDAY, December 29th, at The Dickens Project

@ NOON: MUSIC at the Opera House
DJ Dano Bookmite presents 105 minutes of music and dancing in the opulent Dickens project Opera House.

@2pm: THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL & MR HYDE
Fantasy Faire Radio and Seanchai Library present an encore performance of their October co-production, featuring Da5id Abbot, Corwyn Allen, Zander Greene, Elrik Merlin, Kayden Oconnell, VT Torvalar, and Caledonia Skytower.

"Wait a darn minute!  That's not Dickens!"  No it's not.  Robert Louis Stevenson was a good 40 years Dickens' junior, and lived 20 years beyond.  Yet among other things, they have this one thing in common: despite all the lengthy and popular works of fiction that both men authored, the one that was their best seller, the one known all around the world, the one that has embedded itself into western culture, was not one of the big works.  The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (published in 1886 at 27,622 words) was Stevenson's big hit!  Not unlike how A Christmas Carol (published n 1843 at 28,944 words) was Dickens'.

All times slt/Pacific

Both events today will take place at The Opera House.  Teleport directly, or from the Main Dickens Square Landing Point.

FRIDAY, December 27th at 6pm: TEA DANCE Take 2 at The Dickens Project

6-8pm slt ~ TEA DANCE AT THE OPERA HOUSE

A dance and ANOTHER chance for role play!
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Dickens%20Project/105/157/501

The Setting: The Lady Agatha is hosting a *second* Tea Dance in (possibly vain) attempt to rescue her niece's reputation after the debacle of the last dance.

Her niece, the Lady Helen, a younger daughter of the Earl of Marshwold, barely showed up at the last dance and was *not* accompanied her fiancé, the Hon. Charles Smithington-Smythe, a wealthy young gentleman of the ton.

And the rumours! Gossips (Lady Agatha can call them nothing else!) are saying Smithington-Smythe is not who he says he is. Even worse, that he has been seen paying his attentions to other ladies, if such they be!

To provide a distraction, Lady Agatha has invited servants, staff, and others of the lower orders to stop by and receive their Boxing Day gifts.

Gossip will be happening! Possibly hi-jinx! Come and add your share!

Music by DJ Ktadhn Vesuvino, and Hosted by Aoife Lorefield. Choose your character as you prefer or contact Aoife to ask for suggestions! 

Victorian dress is requested for this event. If you need some, there are free outfits available at the shops on Dickens Square.

THURSDAY December 26th at 7pm: VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS GHOST STORIES

VICTORIAN

CHRISTMAS GHOST STORIES

"Move nearer the fire and hearken!"

Reading a ghost story on Christmas Eve was once as much a part of traditional Christmas celebrations as turkey, eggnog, and Santa Claus.

The Christmas ghost story; elaborate descriptions of the food and drink, games, and bedclothes of the time. And the contrast between the Victorian home’s cheery interior and the piercing cold of the snow, ice, and terrors outside.

Book: VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS GHOST STORIES Editor: Simon Stern
