I cannot resist partaking in this mess of a play

I'd be happy to play Joe Pier. I will do my best to portray his "quaking in his boots" cowardliness

Ha! Welcome aboard, Tomas! Hope you can make sense of some of these lines!

Here is Nancy Clover. I wasn't expecting that longish speech of hers in Act I. Let me know of any changes you would like.

Ha! Sorry, I probably should have added something about that in the MW. But thank you! I can’t wait to listen to these.

I was magnetically drawn to the project by the fact you characterized it as a "very bad play." Then when I saw you were looking for a performer who could do a ridiculous Irish accent... well, I knew this was the role for me!

Here's dahlin' Miss Judy:

I'm grateful for the serendipity... especially since I thought the two Irish caricatures in this play would be the hardest to cast.

Thank you so much for helping out! I'll PL this as soon as I can.

Quick question, for the credit do you want “servants” or “servant”?

Good question. Let's do "Servants" for now -- that way, I can use your audio file to describe all four questions (and to keep it closely aligned/identical to the original text).
