SATURDAY, December 17th at 1pm: FEZZIWIG'S BALL

Come and join us at the Christmas Past Dock for Fezziwig's Ball, featuring DJ Dano Bookmite!

But the great effect of the evening came after the Roast and Boiled, when the fiddler (an artful dog, mind! The sort of man who knew his business better than you or I could have told it him!) struck up 'Sir Roger de Coverley.' Then old Fezziwig stood

out to dance with Mrs. Fezziwig. Top couple, too; with a good stiff piece of work cut out for them; three or four and twenty pair of partners; people who were not to be trifled with; people who would dance, and had no notion of walking.

Period dress is encouraged but not required. Just come along and dance like its 1843, or earlier!

We take a few more steps Ebenezer Scrooge today, moving into the future and the possible consequences of present actions. Today we continue with Stave Four: The Last of the Spirits.

"The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently approached. When it came near him, Scrooge bent down upon his knee; for in the very air through which this Spirit moved it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery." 

Two opportunities to hear these classic words:

• @ 1pm slt - Hana Hoo & Caledonia Skytower present

We continue our walk in the steps of Ebenezer Scrooge, as he takes a good look at what is happening around him in the Present that he has been blind to. Today we continue with Stave Two: The Second of Three Spirits.

"It was his own room. There was no doubt about that. But it had undergone a surprising transformation. The walls and ceiling were so hung with living green, that it looked a perfect grove; from every part of which bright gleaming berries glistened."

We continue our walk in the steps of Ebenezer Scrooge, following him into the past. Today we continue with Stave Two: The First of Three Spirits.

"At sight of an old gentleman in a Welsh wig, sitting behind such a high desk, that if he had been two inches taller, he must have knocked his head against the ceiling, Scrooge cried in great excitement--

"'Why, it's old Fezziwig! Bless his heart, it's Fezziwig alive again!'"

Two opportunities to hear these classic words:

• @ 2pm slt - Bryn Taleweaver & Caledonia Skytower present

MONDAY, December 12th at 1pm & 7pm: A CHRISTMAS CAROL, "Marley's Ghost"

Thus we commence our week with "The Carol", Charles Dickens' "ghostly little book" written in 1843 that has never been out of print.

Each day this week, we  will present a different stave (chapter) of this work at this year's Dickens Project SL.  Today we begin at the beginning with Stave One: Marley's Ghost.

"... it came on through the heavy door and passed into the room before his eyes.  Upon its coming in, the dying flame pealed up, as if it cried, 'I know him! Marley's Ghost!' and fell again."

Two opportunities to hear these classic words:

• @ 1pm slt - VT Torvalar presents
• @ 7pm slt - Kayden Oconnell presents
