thank you Tom !!!!! these are well done.

One small note, I'm not sure if it's a big change of meaning, but at 0:30, you said "he's my father" instead of "here's my father".

Okay, I'm hard at work putting this all together.

(Actually, I'm not hard at work. Kitty and mightyfelix - coincidence there? - have done all the real work as our DPL and much overworked reader of these excessively long and poorly formatted stage directions. I am just getting to put it all together now and hear the fun as it becomes one cohesive performance!)

Thanks, Todd

Fun fact: Felix the Cat was indeed one inspiration from which I drew my screen name, years ago, together with Mighty Mouse. Two of my favorite classic cartoons.

Good catch, Sonia. I've added the line as requested.

I have also altered a few other lines where I say Spettigue's name, to be consistent with everyone else's pronunciation. More specifically, those moments are as follows:

Act 2: 3:29, 3:46, 4:16 & 6:28

Act 3: 1:34 & 8:14

They don't necessarily need to be PLed, but in case Todd has already edited those acts, he knows where to find the modified lines.

I have not done Acts 2 or 3 yet. Over the weekend. Still grooming Act 1.

Thanks, Todd

well I checked anyway, and they are all PL ok.

I noticed, apart from the last line, Babbs keeps calling him OLD Spettigue

So did you never say the name in act 1 ?

Sorry - it is taking me forever to get this assembled and groomed. Soon....

Thanks, Todd

Whew. Act 1 done. Now on to Act 2.

Thanks, Todd

Missing a Jack line in Act 2:

JACK. Yes. (Moving round R. to front of table C.) You know, Miss Verdun,
there are times when a fellow's got to think a lot and think long.

KITTY. I suppose so. (Putting R. hand unconsciously on table.) JACK (C.).
And there are times when a fellow mustn't stop to think or if he does,
hell spoil his chance!

Separate file, please

Thanks, Todd

Missing Sir Francis line in Act 2. These dratted things are so hard to find!

SIR FRANCIS. Oh, I beg pardon.

(JACK moves R., KITTY rises to go.)

No, don't mind me. I only wanted a word with my boy here.

separate file please.

Thanks, Todd

hi there....typing this from Kaliningrad

just listened to the first part and it is absolutely hilarious already. Wonderful job so far. And Todd, the editing must really have been tricky but the end result is great.

Only 2 things to mention...

at 1:24: Amy Spettigue: typo in the script. She should be Spettigue's niece instead of Ela Delahaye. sorry for not catching this right away. I hope Devorah read the line so you can insert her here

at 1:35: Ela Delahaye: same here, therefore "Spettigue's niece" can be removed here

at 45:57: missing line "Brassett at sideboard", not sure how important it is to know where he stands

that's all, for the rest, all is perfect

only thing is, I have not run it through Checker because I can't do that on my tablet. So this would have to wait till I'm home

and now...good night. Tomorrow is a long day sight-seeing the city and it's already past midnight
