LateRooms.com - Dorchester Gets Ready for Muttnik The First Dog in Space

Muttnik - The First Dog in Space, a theatrical event inspired by pioneering canine Laika, is set to take place at Dorchester Arts Centre.

2012-01-25

DORCHESTER, ENGLAND, January 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) A venue in Dorset is preparing to stage Muttnik - The First Dog in Space, a family-friendly event that will combine dance, music and puppetry to create a new version of a famous moment in history.

Based on the story of Soviet space dog Laika, the performance is due to take place at Dorchester Arts Centre between 11:00 and 14:00 GMT on Saturday February 18th.

Laika became the first animal to be launched into orbit when she was placed on board the Russia's Sputnik 2 spacecraft in November 1957.

In Muttnik, the audience is offered a glimpse of the dog's life as a stray on the streets of Moscow before she is taken to live at the Russian Space Centre.

After learning she has been selected to become the first dog in space, Muttnik's thoughts turn to skating on the rings of Saturn and digging holes in the moon.

With plenty of audience participation and the promise of a happy ending, the show looks set to offer an enjoyable outing for all the family.

Tickets for the performance are priced at GBP7 for adults and GBP5 for children. It is suitable for youngsters aged three and above.

LateRooms.com recommends a wide range of places to stay in Dorset, including the Yalbury Cottage & Restaurant in Dorchester.

The engineers at Brown etched thousands of plasmonic interferometers onto a fingernail-size ...
