I, the hunchbacked traitor and brother-hater of Covent Garden, have arrived to submit my first two acts.

Thank you, evil twin. Nana-na-nana-na, I get the castle! You go to exile! Nana-na-nana!

“Nana-na-nana-na, I get the castle!”

Work on your “na-na-na-na”s, and you might even be eligible for the Batcave!

Noooooooooooo, I didn't get to that part yet! I thought Evil Twin was going to fool everybody and finally get his due after years of hump-related sleeplessness!

Or maybe I am the evil twin and I'm fooling you....

always read till the end before you get conned out of a fortune

excellent job so far, Tomas

I especially like the scene where you are so hypocritically sorry about your father and brother's death. Right at the beginning I didn't even find him so particularly evil, he only becomes so more and more as the play progresses it seems. Well who could blame him, with Hermes taking all the pleasures from his life (maybe Hermes IS the evil twin, after all

)

I also think our scene together (Benjamin/Mandrake) will become quite good.

Acts 1 and 2 PL ok. Great performance ! Thanks

Sonia

The evil twin is now finished (literally and figuratively).

Thank you. And may I repeat: Nana-na-nana-na, I get the castle! You go to exile! Nana-na-nana!

excellently played till the very end, Tomas. And I must confess, despicable his actions may be, but his final sentence shows the grandeur of his character. Bearing poverty more than alms from the brother he hates. He is more of a tragic villain, definitely no ordinary villain.

All Acts PL ok. Bravo

I especially loved the scene where you exhuberantly enjoyed the supposed death of your brother. Mean, mean, really.

It seems you're still short of a Maid in the first act?

And possibly a comic poet in the third act?

Great. I can't record the claims in the MW now but will get them this evening.

Thanks, Todd

So both roles, then ?

Yes, at this point both roles. Anybody that wants a role has had plenty of time to get one so my usual "no doubling" is no longer in force.

Thanks, Todd

Apologies for taking so long to get this going, but I had the dreaded bronchitis for several weeks and sounded a bit like a frog. Here's Richmore, Act 1:
