Enjoy
another jolly evening of dancing in Dickens' London. Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig
invite you to A Victorian 12th Night Ball – with special guest Charles Dickens
and a number of his favorite characters. After a Victorian dance lesson at 7pm,
Bangers & Mash plays an evening of elegant Victorian ballroom dance music
and lively English Country Dances (which will be briefly taught and called). No
partners required! No host bar, light snack buffet (potluck contributions
welcome), and performances by the Peerless Music Hall and Mr. Dickens himself.
Victorian costume (circa 1837-1870) or modern evening dress is admired, but not
required.
This
year we have a new addition: Some of Mr. Dickens' colorful less respectable
characters have discovered Mr. Fezziwig's wine cellar (in the Lodge's Rathskellar)
and invite you to drop in and join the, if you will, for a drink and a chat at
their no-host bar (That means you pays for yer own drinks, mates!).
Cost:
$20 in advance (by December 28); $25 at the door.
