Act 3 super and PL ok. Pride of place of course goes to the excellent "bitch-fight" (really I have no other word for what's going on

) between Leanne and Eva.

Well done, girls !

Act 4 perfectly PL ok as well. I'm on a Molière binge this afternoon LOL I think this is my favourite act so far, all the dialogues are really great. Philinte/Eliante in the beginning, then the quarrel between Acaste and Celimene, and even this short but very significant bantering with Dubois at the end is quite memorable.

So well done, all of us !

Waiting for Act 5....

Kitty wrote:Act 2 is wonderful. Especially the core bantering of Celimene, speaking bad of everybody and their dog - Leanne is excellent in this role and all the men around her sound great assembled together.

Only one small thing I would correct:

> at 7:36-7:39: pause a bit too long before scene 4. You usually only leave about 1.5 seconds between scenes, which is enough, I think

The rest perfect !

Fixed and uploaded.

Thanks, Todd

Act 5 PL ok. Grand finale !!! Everybody was at their best in there. It seems our readers are relishing "angry speeches" because, getting back at Celimene here (poor Leanne) really brought out the best in them all. And last but not least, Eva in her final "woman scorned" spiteful speech to Alceste was one of my favourites here in this act.

Special mention to the editor: the quick to and fro from Alceste and Oronte in the beginning, discussing Celimene's love, was sublimely stitched together at a great pace

Now back to Act 1....I want to get this done before the day is over...

Fix to Act 1 uploaded. I do think this sounds good - all your readings were wonderful! (By the way, the next Moliere is posted in the Launch Pad!)

Thanks, Todd

Act 1 listened to once again and I can safely say, it's totally PL ok now.

The Misanthrope is DONE
