Sonia, I listened to your recordings and can say they are PL OK! I like how you conveyed Overdone's flirtatious nature in her first scene with her terror at being arrested later on. Her confident nature takes quite a turn.

The narration is great, too. You're very lucky this play isn't filled with them (except for all those annoying "Lucio, aside to Isabella" ones).

There's only one optional correction that you may want to make:

Act 1, scene iv: Missing "Lucio (within)."

I'm not sure if that omission was deliberate. I thought it might be good to distinguish Brad's voice as Lucio's here. But he's introduced soon after in a stage direction, so maybe it's not needed. It's up to you.

It has occurred to me that I'm playing BOTH of the men who are whispering asides in II,ii. It's a good thing I'm planning on different voices.

no that wasn't deliberate, I really forgot to highlight this part in my prepared reading sheet.

Thanks for the listen ! I inserted it now, just in case we need it. You're right, I think it's better to say it. (though with the many "Lucio asides" I'm not so sure

)

I just discovered a small omission in the MW. The Provost has one line early in 2_1.

The provost's bits are short in the first two acts. Here they are, including the one line omitted from the MW.

Thanks for the edit, Sonia! Now all your narration is definitely PL OK.

Good catch regarding the Provost line, Brad. I missed it in my prep work.

I'll add your files to the MW for Sonia to check.

so far the Provost is PL ok.

He seems like a nicer character, unfortunately he has not as much to decide as Angelo.

He would have shown mercy more readily.

Thanks

here is the very soft-spoken Mariana. I definitely tried to make her much softer than Isabella later on, but not as "stupidly meek" as Juliet. Let's hope it shines through enough to differentiate.

Well, it's Shakespeare's birthday, so that is as good an excuse as any to finish the Provost's scenes.

I really, really like the Provost. He sounds like a genuine nice guy, and feels remorse about the job he has to do. Nicely done, Brad. All parts PL ok.

And belated happy birthday, Will

All I have left is Lucio, but it looks like work will be keeping me very busy until at least Sunday. So I'll be taking a break from the project until then.

No worries, Brad. We're still a long way's from finishing, so you still have plenty of time.

Two shorties to start off with: a drunken gentleman and a strict nun.
