And here are Helen's last two acts:

So glad I had the chance to read this role! Figuring out what's an aside is a bit tricky, though.
Thanks,
Wendy

Hooray! Thanks for getting these in so quickly! I'm looking forward to being able to start editing some scenes together soon!JoannaHoyt wrote: ↑June 14th, 2021, 10:59 am Here are the stage directions for the first three acts. Will edit and upload the last two tonight or tomorrow.

I had some trouble with that too! There were several lines that I had to re-record because I only figured out after I had spoken them that they were thoughts not dialogue.WendyKatzHiller wrote: ↑June 14th, 2021, 11:50 am And here are Helen's last two acts:

This play was a big change in that way from "You Never Can Tell" by George Bernard Shaw. Shaw - an Edwardian - practically dictates line readings to you in the stage directions for each piece of dialogue.
I also continually got tripped up by the Victorian faux-Shakespearean double negatives -- "Would not he not have known?" and that sort of thing. I don't think anyone ever actually talked like that in the history of ever.
As melodramas go, though, Helen and Julia are very nicely written parts for women. They have a lot of spunk! I'm looking forward to hearing how this play comes together!

Here's act 4. I realized while editing this that I have probably been doing something wrong in the earlier acts. When reading cues such as "Wal. [Entering]" I have simply read "Walter, Entering." But in other parts of the stage directions where abbreviations are not used he is always called Master Walter, not just Walter. So I added "Master" to the Walter cue in this act. Let me know if I should go back and do that in the first 3 acts as well. Sorry I didn't think to ask before. I can make the fixes quickly, and I'll edit and upload act 5 as soon as I know how I should be doing this.

Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I think I would prefer to have him identified as "Master Walter." Thanks for catching this!JoannaHoyt wrote: ↑June 14th, 2021, 3:21 pm Here's act 4.
