I'm not that bad !

Sonia and Todd,

Sorry for all the extra work. Thanks for your patience. I didn't really know if the Cockney was just sooo far in 'left field' that it would be 'acceptable'.

I will do better next time: only give one

.

Sometime you will have to find "The Playgoers" in one of the One Act Collections and listen for the parlourmaid....

Thanks, Todd

Now you REALLY have to listen to it.

I have fond memories of this play. I think we all had such fun with our roles, and the end result was so fun to listen to!

thanks Matthew, a wonderful performance for the little hero. He's quite a big mouth on him though

Humility seems not to be in his vocabulary.

Well done, and nothing missing as far as I can detect. The script is quite challenging.

I'll mark Acts 2 and 3 already PL ok.

Just a small edit for Act 1 please:

> for the voice credit could you add: "Tom Thumb, the Great ..." (let's not forget his full title of honour

)

thanks

Sonia

here's your loving and gentle Queen Dollallolla (don't you dare call me Dolly

)

Still sober in the first act (one needs to be sober to plot vengeance - the evil laugh at the end is right out of Maleficent) but showing some signs of hangover at the beginning of Act 3. Well it was a rough night, is all I can say to my defense.

Oh and I hope you like my dying groan and can find a use for it.

("kills the Queen" would be an appropriate spot

)

Grizzle act 2

Apologies to Sonia if this is a bit rude. I did not write it

I guess I'll have to take the blame since I selected the play. But then I'm a naive soul, who didn't know I was speaking double entendres in the Congreve....

Thanks, Todd
