World Theater Live at HLSCCThis Week’s Feature Story by Claudia Colli
Enjoy top-notch theater from around the worldhere in the BVI with the BVI Theater Series at theHLSCC presented by Appleby. These filmed theatrepresentations are shown at cinemas throughout theworld bringing the best of entertainment to audi-ences who might not be able to travel to London orBroadway to see the originals. This year’s inauguralHLCC presentation will be the high-ly acclaimed National Theater pro-duction of The Curious Incident ofthe Dog in the Nighttime thisSaturday, September 27th.
Based on the bestselling bookby the same name, the play followsthe exploits of Christopher Boone, ayoung man with autism as he setsout to solve the mystery of the deathof a neighbor’s dog in highly ingen-ious fashion. According to a reviewin the Guardian, “there is a rich ten-sion between fiction’s invention and the obsessionwith facts, forensics and systemized data that is asymptom of Christopher’s mind.”
The production’s sets have also been praised fortheir innovative design and stage work. Pictures thatChristopher draws on the floor with chalk are filmedfrom above so the audience can see the shapes. The
stage floor, which is laid out in tiles, lights up todemarcate the houses on Christopher’s street exactlyas he would see them.
Other series presentations this season include theNational Theatre’s Shakespearean drama, King Lear;a dazzling production of The Nutcracker by the famedMariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, Russia, and three
more productions by the NationalTheatre Live: A Small FamilyBusiness on 31 January, Skylight on14 February and the family favorite,Treasure Island on 28 March.
Nadia Menezes of Appleby whois organizing the series, says, “Ihope that people will be as excitedabout this lineup as I am – I do hopethat those who missed it previouslywill be coming out to support theseries this time around!”

off. With her daughter in college, that means she has
expenses and extra money coming in would be very
welcome at this time.
When we come into extra money the first
thought is what to do with it? Sometimes we can just
let it sit there for a while and not be in a hurry to
make a decision right away. If it’s not a whole lot, she
can leave it there for a rainy day – expenses come up
all the time – medical issues, property taxes, etc. if
the amount is a lot, she could consider investing it or
she could contribute to a charity that her and her
husband supported.
She has been handed a surprise gift. Don’t let it
become a stressor by her obsessing on how to use it.
She just needs to consider where the greatest need is,
what her husband would have likely wanted and what
has the potential to do the greatest good.
Should She Share the Money?
Send your questions confidentially [email protected] or via twitter at @korennorton
Dear Koren,
A friend of mine is having a strange situation but
she doesn’t live here. Her husband died and she dis-
covered he had some assets that she didn’t know of.
She is the second wife and only had one child with
him but he had three children before. If all the children
got what he left to them in the will, should she still
share the extra money or just keep it for her and her
child alone. Her daughter is in her 20s and in college
and the previous three are in their 30s. We need
advice. –Concerned Friend,
Dear Concerned Friend,
I do not have any legal training, so I don’t know
what she is mandated to do; however, it seems to me
that since there was a will and it was followed, then
it’s a matter of what she thinks is ethically right and
what she is comfortable with. Some of the markers
she could use to make her decision could be how
much the extra money is, her and her daughter’s
financial status and outstanding debts, the financial
situation of the other three children and even his rela-
tionship with them.
If the other children are all well off, then they
might not need the extra money. If your friend has
debts, then she might want to consider paying them

Old SpiceGrowing up in the 50s & 60s some of my favorite
books, TV shows and movies were about dogs and
horses: Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, My Friend Flicka, Black
Beauty and a classic film I recently pulled from the
Netflix archives and watched again called, Old
Yeller. On the book side one Amazing Pig and a spi-
der named Charlotte also slipped into my favorites
list, but dogs were my passion and I had two long-
term canine companions before hopping across the
pond to the Caribbean
Arriving in the BVI in early 90’s, it did not appear
to be the right climate for my favorite large breed, so
I held off for awhile until I fell in love with a little
island mixed breed puppy, I named Chutney. I want-
ed a companion for Chutney as she got older, so I
decided to breed her and who ended up as her sire?
A huge Bernese Mt. Dog, whose owners were also
looking for a good guard dog. So, 60-pound Chutney
became mother to seven puppies and as fate would
have it, I ended up with “Spice” the largest one of
the litter, who grew into 110 pounds of love and
affection. Chutney and Spice, plus my cat named
Marmalade, became affectionately known to my
friends as “the condiments.” We three were a f-a-m-
i-l-y. As time wore on both Chutney and Marmalade
eventually said their earthly goodbyes, but there
was always faithful, old Spice.
If you are open to learn most dogs can teach you
many lessons about life. Dogs exemplify attributes
we strive for such as loyalty, forgiveness, faithful-
ness and always a ready ear to hear. They only ask
for simple pleasures like good food with occasional
treats, belly rubs, head strokes, being praised and a
lively romp daily. No matter what you are going
though, they are there to support you with slurpy
licks and head muzzling. They are one of the few
mammals man has bonded so intimately with and
the attachment they have for their owners is strong.
Recently Spice let me know it was his time to
move on. Crippling arthritis, and
not being able to “hold his business” for the out-
doors became some of the deciding factors.
Although I was able in his final moments to have
Spice’s head on my lap and a beautiful spot to bury
him, saying goodbye to your canine companion of 14
years is not easy. I felt the same heat-wrenching
tears I cried as a child for “Old Yeller,” who also had
to be put down. I send a shout out to you Spice, for
the years of wonderful companionship you were
able to give me. “Sail on golden dog, sail on high,
your time has come.”

Based on the life of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu
Mbatha-Raw), Belle is both a genteel period piece and
the story of a pivotal court case that was a turning
point in the 18th century abolitionist movement.
We are introduced to Dido as a young girl. Born in
1761, she is the daughter of an African slave and a
British naval captain, Sir John Lindsay. Lindsay claims
her as his own, but busy with his career, asks his uncle
and aunt, Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and Lady
Mansfield (Emily Watson) to raise her as a member of
their family. Dido joins the household, which also
includes her cousin Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon), who is
of similar age and the two bond, despite their racial
and class differences.
Dido is for the most part raised as an equal mem-
ber of the family, but not always. She is allowed to
dine with the family, but if there are guests, she dines
separately. As she reaches adulthood finding a suitor
for her becomes essential. She is pursued by the son
of an aristocratic family, but even though she accepts,
she know that in this family where her inheritance is
as important as her status, she would never be con-
sidered an equal.
Instead she falls in love with a young lawyer, the
son of a vicar, who Lord and Lady Mansfield consider
to be unsuitable match for a woman of her position.
John Davinier (Sam Reid) is a passionate abolitionist
who is working on a case that involves the murder of
African slaves aboard a slave ship; they were thrown
overboard so that the ship’s owners could claim insur-
ance compensation for what the law considered chat-
tel goods. In 1783, Lord Mansfield, who presides over
the highest court in England, will hear this horrific and
controversial case which raises passions on both
sides. At stake is the future of the extremely lucrative
slave trade – if Lord Mansfield rules against the ship
owners, it could eventually lead to the emancipation
of thousands of slaves in the West Indies and else-
where in the world.
Dido, though, is not just battling racial prejudice,
she lives in an era when women had few rights and
were subservient to both their families and their
husbands. In spite this, she defies convention and
becomes increasingly involved in the insurance
case. She helps John Davinier and his fellow aboli-
tionists promote their cause and attempts to per-
suade her uncle to rule against the ship’s owners,
even though he remains hesitant to overturn
decades of precedent.
Belle may be a movie about an important chap-
ter in the history of the slave trade, but it is also a
romantic tale that is beautifully filmed, well-acted
and life affirming.

Olympic Games Pursuit UpdateSailors Alec Anderson and Chris Brockbank
wrapped up competition in the ISAF WorldChampionships in Santander, Spain on Saturday asthey pursue a goal of their sport’s return to the 2016Rio Olympic Games. Since Atlanta 1996, BVI sailorshaven’t made the trek.
Sailing in the 49er Class, the duo opened with a32nd place finish in race one followed by 9th for 41points and 18th position overall. A windless day pre-vented day two racing ahead of utter disaster the nexttime out with winds over 25 knots.
”We had a bad wipeout on theway to the race course where Iflew through the mainsail,”Anderson noted. “That led us tomiss the first race. Then in similarfashion we were late to the secondrace causing a false start.”
They dropped from position 18to 68 after that with a score of 82points.
“Even the gold medalist from London capsizedover five times,” Anderson added.“It was very hectic.”
With their mishap their goal of finishing in the sil-ver fleet slipped away despite later finishes of 21, 6, 7,10, 7, 15, 10—six top 10 finishes—they ended up ninespots better in 58 position.
“We know we can do this,” Anderson said as theirscores showed their capability. “Definitely we under-performed in tough, windy days but learned many les-sons and improving steadily. These events are alwaysa huge learning experience for us. We did our firstcompetition at the end of January this year- and the49er is an incredibly challenging boat to sail. The top
guys have been sailing the boat for 10 years give ortake”.
He said they have proven to themselves and theircoach that they can get to the top quickly but will sim-ply require serious commitment and sacrifice.
In the early stages of such a new and challengingcampaign, he said it’s important for them to relish inthe small victories.
“For example, our 9th place finish in the second
race we battled with the gold medalists Nathan
Outtridge and Iain Jensen the whole
race, a very cool feeling,” he said.
“We've managed to have good races
at all the events we've sailed, so we
know we're capable of competing.
We simply need to keep working
hard. At the top level of any sport,
athletes don't gain their abilities by
chance – some are quicker to learn
than others. It takes thousands of
hours of hard work to get to the top.
It's obvious here when racing against teams who have
won medals, raced in the Americas Cup, etc,” he
added. “That is exactly what we plan to do – train for
thousands of hours to ensure we improve at the rate
required to attend the games.”
Up next is the Miami Olympic Classes Regatta in
January and Worlds in Buenos Aires next November.
“We have ample time to train and develop our
technique and understanding of the boat,” Anderson
noted. “We've covered the basics and now we can
work on the finer points of sailing the boat, fine tuning
and technique.”

The sweetness of NBC’s comedy, A to Z premier-
ing Thursday, Oct. 2, hearkens to old-fashioned dat-
ing, when people saw each other before perusing
online profiles.
Online dating has its place on the show. Andrew
(Ben Feldman) works at Wallflower, an online dating
site, where the goal is to keep people single. Zelda
(Cristin Milioti) storms in. Andrew is smitten instantly,
and realizes he had the same reaction when he saw
her years earlier at a concert. She, a no-nonsense
attorney, not looking for love, is attracted to him.
As the narrator says during the opening and clos-
ing credits: “They will date for eight months, three
weeks, five days and one hour.”
It’s not clear if they break up or marry at end.
“Relationships change all the time, whether it
means that the relationships end, they go to the next
level, there’s moving, there’s kids, there’s other peo-
ple, and there’s just so many things that can be done
that our hope is that to put that ticking clock on, it will
help people to invest in whatever that moment is,
whatever that change is that everybody will be along
for the ride,” says Rashida Jones, at a press confer-
ence, who is an executive producer.
Andrew and Zelda work in the same office park
and their office windows face each other.
“Andrew is a hopeless romantic,” Feldman says
The Newest Love Letters: A to Z
during an interview. “He’s at the other end of the spec-
trum from me in real life.”
“Zelda takes work very seriously because she had
crazy hippie parents,” Milioti says. “I think she’s afraid
of losing control and when you fall in love, you lose
control.”
The show has typical sitcom components, wacky
best friends, quirky co-workers, but it also has a love-
ly center at heart.
“The cool thing is I like the show,” Feldman says.
“More important than like or dislike is it feels like an
old Penny Marshall movie. It feels real. It looks like a
’90s rom-com.”
Milioti couldn’t yet be sure how it looked as she
declined watching a screener.
“I will watch with my boyfriend,” she says. “I want
to see it with commercials at home.”
