Somewhere in the Twilight Zone, Todd has the boxed collection of the Carry On movies, I'm a boulevardier, and Sonia speaks Fraussie (like Franglais, only with an Australian accent).

All we need now is a purple hippopotamus doing his ironing in an elevator, and our demonstration of the word "surreal" is complete.

Cheers,
Chris

:shock: do you lie long awake at night coming up with such ideas or does it come natural ? David Lynch is an amateur compared to you. (I like myself in the Fraussie role though :mrgreen: )

Hi Todd,
Could I have The Marquis D'Auray?

I would like to volunteer for the role of Mr. De La Jarry, (section 4 in the MW) if permitted.
Thanks.

oh ! wow ! Powerful performance here, Amy. 8-) You play the doting old marquis to perfection. Always verging between lucidity, rage and insanity. And he is quite snappy with the marchioness, this will turn out great in the assembled dialogue later on :9:

It's PL ok, no question. :) Only at some points you did not leave much space for when stage directions should be pasted in. But I checked those in detail, I think Todd can handle it, as there is a natural break in the sentence at those points anyway.

Thanks, great acting !

Thank you so much for helping out here Roger :9: and you're doing Monsieur de la Jarry really the way I pictured him...a bit jaded and resigned to his fate (well, what can you expect of a man who has to mention Madame de la Jarry in every second sentence :mrgreen: )

No errors found, excellently read :thumbs: Must be PL ok.

And Todd: this means Act 3 is also ready to be assembled ! :D

Yes Mother. Of course, Mother. Right away, Mother.

(I have been out playing in Castle Spectre which is now all done except the chorus entries.)
