Dolly Sisters

From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Once a small community outside the boundaries of the twin cities of Ankh and Morpork, as the metropolis of Ankh-Morpork expanded, Dolly Sisters was absorbed into it as one of its notable neighborhoods. Residents of Dolly Sisters are characterized by speaking in a dialect that is unique to their community. They also have local days and festivals incomprehensible to the rest of the city - such as Dog Turd Monday and Up Needles All.

The neighbourhood sustains an amateur theatrical society, the Dolly Sisters Players, whose efforts are augmented by University professor Dr John Hicks, interested students, and Department members and friends.

Noteworthy local residents and ex-residents include:

  • Adora Belle Dearheart, who lives here with what remains of her family after the collapse of their hopes and dreams concerning the Grand Trunk - largely the widows and orphans of the original Trunk management. The local tobacconists will miss her when she finally moves out to marry Moist von Lipwig.
  • Glenda Sugarbean who was until recently in charge of the Night Kitchen the second most important (after the main kitchen) part of Unseen University - she is now presumed to be Uberwald with Mr Nutt
  • Juliet Stollop better known as 'Jewels' the well known model for Shatta the dwarf fashion house and former employee in the Night Kitchen. Her father and brothers still live in 'the Sisters' where they are prominent in the world of Foot-the-ball.

With the expansion of the watch a new Watch House was also opened in Dolly Sisters.
