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'.

WEDNESDAY, September 18th at 7pm: TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE PIRATE DAY!

In one of the many Seanchai Library traditions, it is that time again. As we crack open the door to the High Story Season, we begin with a fanciful embrace of the buccaneer mythos - PIRATES! Thursday is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, after all!

"Pirates are hearty

They’re bluff and they’re loud

They’ll always have fun

On their own or in crowds

"Some have an eye patch

And some have a hook

In place of the hand

That a crocodile took

"They’re usually friendly

Despite all your fears

But if you should cross them

They’ll cut off your ears . . ."

Tonight we share everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. Everything from the madcap George the Pirate Stories, to a selection from Rafael Sabbatini's Captain Blood, to The Flying Dutchman.

R. Crap Mariner, Corwyn Allen, Da5id Abbot, Zander Greene, and Caledonia Skytower, live in Voice at The Pirate Cove.
