Fabell (which I pronunced Fa-Bell -though only in my voice credit since I speak it not else) - is ready in the MW for PL.

Thanks, Todd

I said the name like "fable" but that's ok, I'm just a lowly devil :lol:

Fabell excellently portrayed, with the needed enthusiasm for mischief of youth. :thumbs: loved it and completely PL ok. Thank you

M. could be Monsignor or Monsieur (out of town folk) or Mister (English).

Thanks, Todd
Is Chamberlaine a woman? I am confused by the line "Aye, sir, my M. is up". If "M." means "Mister", does this instance refer to Chamberlaine's husband? If Chamberlaine is a woman, I would like to relinquish the role.

Hi, here are the stage directions:

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/merrydevilofedmonton_narrator_1.mp3 @ 6.06
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/merrydevilofedmonton_narrator_2.mp3 @ 5.41
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/merrydevilofedmonton_narrator_3.mp3 @ 1.27
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/merrydevilofedmonton_narrator_4.mp3 @ 1.54
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/merrydevilofedmonton_narrator_5.mp3 @ 1.27

I've pronounced Mountchensey as such throughout, correcting the four or five occasions the name is given as "Mountchesney".

Should this play really be listed on the audiofile and in our catalogue as "by William Shakespeare", given that that attribution has been rejected by scholars for centuries? It seems odd to read that at the beginning of each act, knowing it to be wrong. Maybe the opening words of the audiofile could be changed to something like "The Merry Devil of Edmonton, authorship unknown but once purported to be by William Shakespeare".

Thanks, Todd

:thumbs: thank you Michael, another excellent narration for the stage directions. And so cool you also got the prologue, you are reading it with panache. 8-)

Acts 3, 4 and 5 are PL ok right away.

Act 1:
> at 1:37: "nuns and attendants" - these need their separate voice credits, here: "Nun" and "Prioress" - Todd always marks them separately in the MW for reference, if such groupings appear in the script or if any people are missing in the list

Act 2:
> at 1:25: there are over 4 minutes of re-recording after the end of act 2. All this can get cut

thank you

Sonia

:lol: this was wonderfully entertaining, thank you Sandra. This prioress so reminds me of a Monty Python character. Excellent for this rather farcical play.

Totally PL ok.
