thanks Patrick, for your first Act. You made Kenric very quiet and composed. Interesting take on the role, but it's probably very fitting for this long-time second-in-command.

No lines missing. I have one small note, but it might be nothing:

> at 2:28: “treachery in every breast” (p. 15) – I think I hear “at every breast” but might be mistaken. I mark it PL ok and let you and Tomas decide whether this needs to be changed

looking forward to the next act :)

Yes, I think the word change is too negligible to bother with, as it doesn't alter the essential meaning of the phrase. The file can be kept as is. :thumbs:

Now all we need is a kind volunteer to read Hassan so that Todd can begin finalizing some of the acts. We're nearly at that point...

If Kenric is more of a sinister character I can read act 1 again if you want me to.

no by no means ! I always find it interesting how each of us interpret a role differently. It's just the same in real theatre, depending on which actor you have, the same role will be played totally differently. So I imagined him not as calm, but now that I hear your version, yes I can picture him. Maybe a bit like Ser Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones :mrgreen:

You just go on with your characterization or wherever the role will take you. I'm sure it will be fine, as long as your heart is in it. (Ok that sounded a bit too poetical maybe, but you know what I mean)

Thank you again, Patrick! :) That's hopefully one more role down. 5 more to go. I hope we're lucky enough to get a few more readers to help finish this up. Then I can think about launching another play!

all right Patrick, I checked Acts 3-5 for Kenric now:

in Act 4 I noticed you are getting warmer in your role. :mrgreen: Here Kenric starts to become more passionate while confessing to the imprisonment of Reginald :thumbs:

I also like the final death-pang ! Dying scenes are always fun. (in theatre I mean, not in real life :roll: )

Act 5 is already PL ok

for 3 and 4 I have a few notes:

Act 3:

> at 0:54-1:05: these 4 lines are not at all Kenric’s lines but done by a chorus. They can be cut out
> at 2:09-2:11: the pause is a bit too long in the middle of the sentence
> at 3:47-3:50: again, the pause can be cut down a bit here

Act 4:

> at 4:26: “to all except myself a secret” – you say “all to except myself”, which is a change of meaning
> file name should not contain capital letters
