You know, I don't rightly recall. So many of my past memories are very faint, you understand... But I remember there was a smell... Such an awful smell, you can't imagine! And something about them wasn't quite symmetrical. Was it only one eye that they had? Or one hand? Or maybe it was only one leg or one tooth...

Reminds me I did have a wee part in another LV play ---- Peter Pan, as the frightful Cap'n Cook. Loads of fun.
On the road again, so delays are possible

“Was it only one eye that they had? Or one hand? Or maybe it was only one leg or one tooth...”
That two-legged, two-armed Red Joe is such a rookie.

you just described the whole gang....sorry but I can't make the whole team walk the plank, or I would kill off the entire troupe.mightyfelix wrote: ↑February 17th, 2018, 9:12 pmYou know, I don't rightly recall.

I think Todd didn't want to turn this into a musical. But better wait for his final verdict in this matterI just noticed that the MW says not to sing. I don't get to sing? That was half the appeal! Puh-puh-puh-please????

you never complained before, ChrisSonOfTheExiles wrote: ↑February 17th, 2018, 8:37 pmYes, enough of that freaky Luxembourg absinthe that “Psychodelic Psonia” has been passing around the troupe of late.
Sonia
thank you Todd, and yes, his writing is extremely funny. I like the fact that he is constantly breaking the fourth wall here and meddling in the play. (Hang me up that moon, please ! )
Well Gutenberg still has 4 more, but no stage plays. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/3268
But ! I struck gold in archive.org. (well, at least one nugget) There's this promising book called Frightful Plays and it not only has Wappin' Wharf but also "At the sign of the greasy pig" a frightful comedy of BEGGARS. So after our pirates have done their job, they can well don the rags and play some beggars in the next play.

I know, I know, I joined Librivox partly so I could sing in a version of Pirates of Penzance that was running back then. But it is so hard to edit together the musical bits - that version of pirates is among the longest running Librivox projects ever - 5.5 years. And my hearing has deteriorated such that I can't do the ensemble music editing myself. So, I'm sorry, but please don't sing.mightyfelix wrote: ↑February 17th, 2018, 9:28 pm I just noticed that the MW says not to sing. I don't get to sing? That was half the appeal!

Since it's the only role left, may I claim th eCaptain?
great we have our captain, and that makes the play Fully Claimed already Thank you Leanne.leanneyauyau wrote: ↑February 18th, 2018, 5:27 amSince it's the only role left, may I claim th eCaptain?
And Todd, here are the Dramatis Personae (which probably will be cut out anyway ) But I gave it my best.

And the rest of the narration is also perfect. Maybe DPL is "Devilishly Precise Language"?
Great story - I am going to prep "At The Sign of The Greedy Pig" to follow this play. But my signature line is filled up, so ye'all better finish some of those other plays I have listed there first!
Thanks, Todd
