no problem, actually that's a good idea. Here it is:

Excellent! And it's a great tune you made up---very soothing and yet very simple to sing to.

Alice Acts 1 and 2 are PL OK! As always, Sonia, you capture the very essence of the character. I loved the frequent gasps and the overall jitteriness, as well as the grumpiness at being tossed about so unceremoniously.

In Act 3, the very first line, "My hair stands on end to hear her!", is missing. This is my fault---somehow I had overlooked colouring it red when I was preparing the script.

I hope it's the only oversight I made. Anyhow, it will only take a few seconds to record and insert, so at least it was not a long speech.

One more bit of good news: the Archive copy of the play is probably the same one Gutenberg Australia used, so no words are out of order or omitted (thankfully). There are some footnotes made by Lewis in the Archive, but they would interrupt the flow of the dialogue, so they can be easily omitted.

oops, how come I did not notice an uncoloured name ?

anyway, here is the inserted line right at the beginning:

and now working on Act 4. Why isn't Alice in Act 5 ? I hope she doesn't die in Act 4

Done ! I have a nice bantering again with Father Philip.

At least she goes out with fierce resolution. But nothing was ever heard of her again

Both acts are PL OK, Sonia! I, too, wish Alice had something to do in Act 5.

I guess she was hiding in her room the whole time, lol.

No, I think she was discovered by a talent scout and left the series early to cameo in one of those Scooby Doo Ghost Mysteries.

SOTE

Hello!
Here are the files for Muley, Acts II & V. (There's only the one line for Muley in Act V, right? Just want to make sure I didn't miss one!

Hi Kieren, yes as far as I can see there is only this one sentence, spoken together with Hassan.

Thanks for you contribution, it was nicely acted out. I especially love the scene where they are playing dice, some excellent expressiveness in your reading there

Both acts PL ok.

Hope to hear more from you

If you're interested in more drama, there's plenty others waiting for good readers (shameless promotion, I know

)

Hi Sonia,
Thank you! It's lots of fun, so I would love to dip back into dramatic works...
Cheers,
Kieren

Reginald - Act 5

Since 16 years in the dungeons have taken a toll on his health, I recorded this when I was sleepy and allergies were acting up. Please let me know if it sounds to muddy to be understandable.
