Everybody who remembers the beautiful Mr Oshima and the Big Sea last year, will be looking forward with eager ancipation to Angel Heart Theatre’s new show Malina’s Dream - a warm hearted tale inspired by encounters by Scottish sailors and the Inuit communities of the Arctic in the 19th century.

Malina is an excitable young girl who lives with her Grandpa in the land of the midnight sun. After dreaming of a stranger, trapped on a ship in the crushing ice, Malina discovers her dream has become reality. Knowing she is the only one who can save the stranger’s life... with just a little help from Grandpa and his magic drum! They set out on an adventure that takes them from the land of dreams and spirits out across their own frozen world!

Malina’s Dream is a wonderful story about friendship and finding the way between two worlds, with breath-taking puppets, live music and a specially commissioned soundtrack to create an unforgettable experience of magical theatre for everyone this winter.

Dorchester Arts…recording studio

Dorchester Arts is a great venue for intimate concerts and events, but it’s becoming increasingly popular with musicians for filming and recording their performances.

Gordon Giltrap recorded his landmark album As it Happens here in 2007 and now Rob Koral and Zoe Schwarz’ band The Baddest Blues Band (ever!) have used it for their latest promotional videos.

“We love coming to Dorchester Arts - it’s got that combination of friendly atmosphere and brilliant accoustics,” explained Rob. “We are definitely planning to come back next year.”
