THURSDAY, June 8th @ 7pm: JUNE SHORTS Continues - H.G. Wells

H.G. Wells was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote more than fifty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and has been called the "father of science fiction."

Tonight: The Door in the Wall

The haunting, deeply psychological story is told by Redmond, a friend of the ascendant politician Lionel Wallace, and describes Wallace’s strange encounters with a door to a garden which seems to find him at intervals throughout his life, without his being able to locate it on his own. He once confided in Redmond that he was concerned that this obsession with the door in the wall was becoming a great distraction to his career, consuming his thoughts and dreams.

Tonight's session will be on Stream at The Firecircle.

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
Dickens Square Main Landing Point
