This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/pride-and-prejudice-a-play-by-mary-keith-medbery-mackaye/
This is play adaption of Jane Austen's classic novel. Be aware that the story line tends to vere from the original and lines are mismatched to the "wrong" characters, etc.For example in the first act Mr. Collins and Mr. Wickham are already known to the Bennets before the Netherfield party arrives, Mr. Darcy says some of Miss Bingley's lines, etc.(Temporary summary only)
- Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1 month of placing your claim (or by the target completion date, whatever is sooner). Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after one month, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen. The target completion date for this project is 2012-Aug-25 . - How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
