Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.
A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
Injustice breeds injustice
Accidents will occur in the best regulated families
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another
Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some
The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it.
Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth; but trust and pity, love and constancy,--they do, thank God!

Pip Utton is Charles Dickens in Dorset
West Stafford Village Hall, Dorset (UK)
Fri, 3rd February 2012 - Sat, 18th February 2012
Over the past 12 years Pip Utton has become internationally recognised as one of the leading performers and writers of solo drama. He has performed in over 20 countries receiving rave reviews and winning many awards for both the writing and the performances, recently winning the UNESCO award for Best Solo Performer. Following a highly successful run at Edinburgh in 2011, Pip returns to the Artsreach circuit with another electrifying character makeover, as Charles Dickens, celebrating the great writer’s bicentenary this February. Charles Dickens, the greatest English novelist, walks on to the stage, clutches his chest, staggers, slips from his sister-in-law's arms and falls down dead. Seconds later he leaps up, entertaining the audience by describing his final moments and relating what he believes were the happiest years of his life. Pip is mesmerising as Dickens, unveiling to the audience that the writer wasn't the grave, serious man of myth but a man full of energy, passion and fire, a man who was a catalyst in the social revolution that began during his lifetime. For ages 14+. Show starts 7.30pm.
