super well done, TJ thank you so much for this entertaining part. I love the more child-like squeaky voice you're doing here. And the laughs are absolutely endearing. Though it's a pretty naughty child, what does that say about you that you chose this role ? And now thanks to your spoil-sport announcements of the plot, I finally understand the whole play.

I only found one small part to correct:

> at 1:44: "resolved to turn page" - you say "turn the page" which is a change of meaning, as here it means Cupid is resolved to play (turn into) a page-boy

Thanks, Sonia! Ya, I'm just trying to be a helpful little child...

Here's the corrected version:

actually there was only one "convention" that you forgot I already mentioned last time in my notes. When to include the character name and when to leave it out. As a reminder, if the stage directions come at the beginning of the speech, we include the name, if they are in the middle or at the end of the speech, we don't say the name. Only tricky thing is with the asides, as in the old texts sometimes they get put at the end of the speech but really should be at the beginning. So the narrator has to be vigilant there

So here you can cut quite a few names. I noted them all down, so you'll find them easily

for Act 3:

> at about 0:27: missed line: "Exeunt"

> at about 0:58: missed line: "Exeunt" (I see a pattern here

)

> at 1:21: "sings and dances" – you can cut out "Asotus"

for Act 4:

> at 1:00: "Exit" – you can cut out "Anaides"

> at 1:10: "to Argurion" – also cut out "Asotus"

> at 1:15: "Swoons" – Argurion can be cut

> at 1:47: "exit" – "Arete" can get cut

> at 1:56: "exit" – Cos can get cut

> at 2:02: "exit" – Prosaites can get cut

the rest was all super, thank you so much.

thank you so much, Kevin.

It was nearly perfect, but I found a few missing things still. But compared to how long this act was, it was really a good job. I hard a hard time keeping track of all the flourishes and charges

Almost there !!!

> at about 0:40: missed line: "exit Asotus"

> at about 3:07: missed line: "to Moria"

> at about 3:38: missed line: "a flourish" (yes there was yet another one

)

> at 4:39: "Crites, aside to Mercury" - here is one example where the old texts put the aside at the end of the line, but it should be said in the beginning, so you need to include the name (I know this is confusing)

> at 7:25: since it's the end of the play, you also need to include "End of Cynthia's Revels or the Fountain of Self-Love by Ben Jonson"

thanks ! and have a nice weekend
