oh wow, what a powerful performance, thank you so much ! I nearly wept here at the last scene. It was hard enough to get through my own part here, but now listening to yours all the sorrow wells up again. Vavir is so gentle, trusting and sweet throughout, it's lovely. Great job. Thank you for tackling this role. :9:

Acts 2 and 3 are already PL ok.

For Act 1 there are some missing lines:

> for the voice credit, please always include the full description that you can see in the MW, here: "The Lady Vavir, her sister, read by..."

> at 6:09: (p. 12) six missed lines: "When the black winter comes... [till] ... Judge for thyself"

thanks

Hey, I count as male in this!

I'm just height challenged.

a really powerful performance, Tomas :thumbs: In that scene where you shout with Mousta, I really began to pity the poor dwarf, you are soooo cruel. But with Vavir you are very tender. Excellently characterized in all aspects. Well worth the wait. Thank you so much. All three acts PL ok and that means this play can be wrapped up :9:

Todd: editing duties await you :)

it was indeed a very powerful third act, but all acts are excellently played and edited. Somehow the power also came from it being acted out by only a handful of people and not large crowds to distract from the drama. There was no wrong note in any of the performances. Brilliant. :clap:

Everything PL ok. A highly enjoyable one hour and a half. I bet there were no dry eyes by the end of this performance in the theatres.

Carry it away, Todd. Excellent job yet again. 8-) Thanks

And now I'll have a look at the next Gilbert...
