thank you Nemo, that was fast. You gave Oronte a more "dignified" elderly tone, which is fitting Quite a small role, and flawlessly done, no bits missing. Easily marked PL ok.

and yet another perfect Act in thanks so much Peter, for your speedy work. These huge monologues would be very trying for me.

And you know what I simply loved here ? It's only a very tiny noise, the one you make when Arnolphe muses and then suddenly notices the notary. It sounded so genuinely startled, perfect.

Act 4 PL ok.

I can take Enrique if you'd like.

[ToddHW]

I can take Enrique if you'd like.

And with that we are full!

Thanks, Todd

Another teeny-tiny part in a big, big play.

a tiny part maybe, but still very crucial for the outcome. Well acted out, love the characterization of Enrique of a more thoughtful person, in contrast to the rather often enraged Arnolphe.

PL ok

I applaud your patience to read "Arnolphe thinking himself alone" for what feels like 3 dozen times Everything excellently read. I only will make a note to Todd that the volume is only around 80-82 dB (I had to crank it up quite a bit to hear enough, my ears are not the best, I’m afraid ) But the volume will get adjusted anyway.

Acts 2, 4 and 5 are immediately PL ok.

PL note for Act 1:

> at 0:30: the dramatis personae are totally missing. Todd, do you need them read by Ava, or will we be using only the readers’ voice credits ? I fear many of them did not include the attributes “friend to Arnolphe”, “in love with Agnes”, etc, and it would maybe be a good idea if the narrator read that out I remember we use those attributes in other plays, it's nice to tell the listener beforehand, who's who.

PL note for Act 3:

> at 0:56: missing line “rises” (p. 370 middle)

Thanks ! Now Todd can start assembling. I feel a busy weekend coming up...

Yes, I would like to have the “friend to Arnolphe”, “in love with Agnes” read for the Dramatis Personae. So if the narration is "Xyz name, what it says in the MW, read by ___" that would be great. While I will overwrite this if the character readers have properly done this, I still like having the "Xyz name" part in the narrator voice cuz sometimes I have to put a character name to a stage direction that while perfectly clear on paper is too liable to confuse when spoken.

Delighted to be able to start assembly of this now so I can hear how you all sound!

Thanks, Todd

[ToddHW]

Thank you all for the parts and the PL!
