COMPLETE[PLAY]The Bores by Moliere - thw

I’ll have my missing line submitted by the end of next weekend.

BTW, I do hope all our bores are fully compliant with the Department of Primary Industries’ regulations. http://archive.water.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/668879/groundwater-domestic-and-stock-bores-factsheet.pdf

It’s wonderful that an Australian Government Department has taken the time to answer questions like these:

Do I need an approval to install a domestic and stock bore?

How do I find out if my bore is already registered?

Where should I drill the bore?

Who can drill a bore?

How do I test the bore’s supply?

How do I get my bore’s water tested?

Wait, does L'Epine only have one line?

I could take that one off your hands.

Although... someone might need to tell me how to pronounce this character's name.

You could copy what has been said in the stage direction file introducing the scene where you appear. Or you could just wing it.

Thanks, Todd

sorry for being so behind here...but now I listened to it all and suffered with Tomas (a.k.a. Eraste) through the assault of boredom.

First Alan told us everything we never wanted to know about piquet and then some.

Then you came in Todd, and frankly...you can be very annoying as well even though officially you are not credited as a bore. The highlight for me definitely was "there is an insect in your hair".

The subtitle for this scene could have been "Get on with it". Next up Eva and I perform a lengthy cat-fight and in the end Nemo is excelling in his great performance as a very snobbish upper-class huntsman. I loooove the nasal voice he's using throughout the scene.

And to make matters even worse, TJ shows Tomas the cold shoulder for all the pains he went through.

I think this pretty much sums up the Act....and you can tell by my review that I absolutely loved it

I have one small PL note though:

> from 3:46-3:49: Alan should continually speak here, there was only a lengthy pause because of the footnote, which you didn’t include anyway. I think we should shorten the pause here considerably. A bore would never risk such a lengthy pause in his speech, for fear that his victim might bring a word in as well

Glad you enjoyed it - or at least stayed awake through it.

I have made the change you suggest.

Thanks, Todd

Great. And with that, we are done. All acts now await Kitty's return after the weekend for final PL - I think you all sound great - and boring - together!

Many thanks, and I'll be launching another Moliere shortly. Take a look in the One Act collection for a short Moliere while you wait!

Thanks, Todd

I totally agree

but the greatness definitely exceeds the boringness (is that a word ?

)

I just listened to 2 acts in a row and it was highly entertaining.

Act 2 is Spot PL ok.
Act 3 is PL ok.

Only one note for Act 1 and then we are done !

> at 1:19: "L'Épine, servant to Damis" – you forgot to exchange April’s line with Chuck’s new voice credit

Excellent editing job yet again, Todd

And a big

for the whole troupe.
