Whispers of Goodbye tells of Catherine, summoned by her sister's letter to post-war Louisiana, who discovers upon arrival that her sister has disappeared. She learns of the misery and scandals her self-centered sister has caused, and despite her own grief over losing her son and husband the previous year, falls in love with her niece and brother-in-law. Shortly after her sister's body is found, Catherine marries John, yet harbors doubts about his potential guilt and fears learning the truth. The top half of the Earth we call the northern hemisphere, and the bottom half we call the southern hemisphere. It's first was Entertaining Strangers, written by award-winning playwright David Edgar and directed by Ann Jellicoe, the founder of the community theatre genre.

Spinning the Moon is at Thomas Hardye Theatre, Tuesday to Thursday April 4-6 at 7.30pm, Saturday, April 8 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm and Monday to Saturday April 10-15 at 7.30pm. Spinning the Moon is set in and around Dorchester in the time of social turbulence following the Wars of the Roses. It blends history with fiction and tells a tale of poignancy and drama with power and humour." It might seem strange that the ocean would bulge on the side farthest from the Moon as well as the side closest to it. This happens because the Moon’s gravity affects the entire Earth, pulling at every point on our planet. The strongest pull occurs on the points closest to the Moon, and the weakest on the points farthest away, but every bit of water is affected. The 4 stars is an average of the two books, book 1 was quite good with just a few soft spots. But book 2 couldn't hold me till it's conclusion though it showed a lot of promise. I may have out grown gothic novels though...This book compiles two of the author's earliest works, otherwise out of print in their original editions.

It is the seventh community production staged by Dorchester, more than any other town in the world, and is a semi-historical, researched tale of social change, divided family loyalty, witchcraft and Spanish monarchy set around Dorchester and Abbotsbury shortly after the Wars of the Roses.I experienced so many emotions with this story. At one point I just wanted to put it down and not finish it. And it wasn't because I disliked it, but because it was so overwhelming that I had a hard time processing all the feelings that were coursing through me. Even though there were a few places throughout that I kinda thought, "well, I'm a little confused",it wasn't enough for me to change my mind on the rating. I loved the first fiction story about time travel and how it can be related to history with ties to certain events. White does an excellent job creating linking them together in a believable way. The northern hemisphere continues to tilt more and more towards the Sun, until the longest summer days in June.

DCPA launched Spinning the Moon, Dorchester's record-breaking seventh community play – no other town has achieved this many – in October 2019 with a public play reading, workshops and casting. With more than 1.8 million books in print in eight different languages, Karen White is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of 23 novels, including the popular Charleston-set Tradd Street mystery series. I dreamed I was running through darkness. My legs were leaden weights and would not propel me toward a dim light shining though the murkiness. A pervading sense of loss enveloped me, and I knew escape was neither imminent nor possible. A loud whirring sound buzzed in my ear and I turned my head from side to side to make it stop. Shadow of the Moon was the first book & the more enjoyable of the two. The Outlander inspo was definitely obvious, but I didn’t mind. The time traveling aspect was actually handled very well and I really enjoyed the Civil War setting. Some of the drama felt a bit forced and silly because it all could’ve been avoided with one honest conversation, but then the more adventurous parts of the book wouldn’t of happened and that’d be no good either. I mostly just wish the romance had a bit more trust and chemistry, but I was still invested enough to enjoy it. The line around which something spins is called an axis. The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle. The Earth’s tilt is the reason for the changing seasons.An engaging and guileless little girl, Annie had inherited equal parts from each parent. She had bright green eyes and an odd crescent-shaped birthmark on the inside of her forearm from her mother, and fair hair and perfectly shaped ears from her father. But her little personality was all her own. She was everything I could have wanted in a child. I sighed, enjoying the caress of goose bumps as they traveled down my spine. “Michael, not here. Someone might see.” I made no move to step away. The play is being staged by Dorchester Community Plays Association who would like to thank everyone for their help, support and vital sponsorship that has made the play possible. This story doesn’t end in the past. The same process is happening now. The Moon continues to move away from Earth at a rate of about an inch-and-a-half (4 cm) per year, its drift slowing as it goes. The energy propelling it away comes primarily from Earth’s oceans, which both bulge out in response to the Moon’s gravity and exert a gravitational pull of their own on the Moon. Earth’s bulging oceans don’t exactly match up with the position of the Moon, they’re always a little out of sync because it takes time for all that water to shift and pile up. This interaction does two things: it creates friction that slows Earth’s own rotation, and creates forces that change the Moon’s orbital speed, causing it to fall farther away into space. Other, weaker forces ― related to such factors as the Moon’s tilt, its elliptical orbit, Earth’s deep interior, the influence of the Sun, and more ― also affect the Moon’s motion, but these cause only very subtle changes, and sizes and distances are not to scale.

While the Earth is spinning to give us day and night, it is also moving around the Sun. This movement is called an orbit. After summer it starts tilting away from the Sun again. The days get shorter and colder as we move into Autumn.

This is an incredible bunch of people to work with. It is a full-on rehearsal schedule and there is no let-up but everyone puts their heart and soul into every minute and works so hard, I am so impressed.”
