COMPLETE[PLAY]Charley's Aunt by Brandon Thomas - thw

Post by **ToddHW** » July 31st, 2018, 5:45 pm

Sonia,

I made the changes about Spettigue's niece at 1:24 and 1:35. And yes, Devorah had the words recorded.

I took out the line at 45:57 intentionally. The byplay is focused on borrowing money from Brassett to pay Brassett, and it does not matter where Brassett is standing. So I did not change anything here.

Slowing getting through Act 2....

Thanks, Todd

Missing Sir Francis line in Act 2:

JACK. I say, dad, you haven't seen Donna Lucia, have you? SIR FRANCIS
(coming down R.C.). No, Jack, I've not.

JACK (aside). That's fortunate.

SIR FRANCIS. I'm waiting for her here.

Separate file please.

Thanks, Todd

excellent, Todd, Part 1 is totally PL ok now.

I will make a note to Checker check still at home though.

Also just finished Act 1 and it was really fun listening to it all assembled. What mayhem this must be on stage. Everything sounds super. I would have a few suggestions to edit, but it's also good as it is. So: totally up to you, Todd

> at 8:47: "Jack off stage knock at outer door." - "Jack" may need to be inserted here

> at 16:20: "Sir Francis laughing to Charley: I thought it was the fire brigade." - you may cut out the stage directions maybe, since Larry is already laughing

> at 42:02: "Charley serving mayonnaise. Donna Lucia. Aunt. - louder - Aunt." - I think "louder" can be cut out as well to make it flow better

I'm extremely crestfallen to read how many lines I was missing this time during PL.

But: Now I will go out and have something to eat.

Missing a Jack line for Act 2:

JACK. At any rate, Freddy Peel would have stood by us like a man.

(LORD FANCOURT undoing dress.)

CHARLEY. We were fools to trust him. JACK. The selfish little beast!

Missing Charley line for Act 2:

(LORD FANCOURT lets dress slip to the ground and steps over it.) CHARLEY.
When you think of all the misery he's put us to.

Separate files, please. This script really is a mess!

Thanks, Todd

Missing a Lord Fancourt line from Act 2:

LORD FANCOURT. How do you do! (Comes C.)

(They shake hands, meeting c.)

LORD FANCOURT I'm Charley's aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from.

Separate file, please.

Thanks, Todd

I did not make the suggested change at 8:47 - I don't think it is Jack knocking and I think it is clear it is Jack speaking when he talks after the off-stage knock. I did make the other two suggested changes.

I can't see any reason for being crestfallen about missing a couple of lines given this mess of a script!

Thanks, Todd

Missing a very much buried line for Spettigue in Act 3:

SPETTIGUE (during last four bars of music--moves to LORD FANCOURT, C.).
Charming! Charming!

LORD FANCOURT stops playing; twirls round on stool and almost
overbalances. SPETTIGUE saves him from falling. Then LORD FANCOURT sits
staring at ELA on sofa L.) Bring the cigars, Brassett, unless the
ladies--(to DONNA LUCIA) Mrs. Beverley-Smythe, (to LORD FANCOURT) Donna
Lucia, do you object to---

Separate file, please.

Missing a Fancourt line in Act 3:

LORD FANCOURT (drawing hand away--slaps SPETTIGUE'S hand with it).
Why--are you going to take lessons?

(SPETTIGUE goes behind settee down L., and talks to DONNA LUCIA and ELA.)

(Aside to JACK.) What's he looking at me like that for, like a boiled
owl?

Separate file, please.

Tomas has reuploaded a new file a few days ago because I noticed this missing sentence as well. He also pronounced Spettigue differently, now with "-gew". Did you maybe use an earlier downloaded file?

There were new files for Act 2 and 3 !

Sonia is correct. I recorded that line and amended my pronunciation of Spettigue for both Acts 2 and 3 last week... with the hope those acts weren't assembled yet. But now it's possible that my old pronunciation was edited into the final acts after all, and Sonia will have to track them down.

SIR FRANCIS. Oh, I beg pardon.

(JACK moves R., KITTY rises to go.)

No, don't mind me. I only wanted a word with my boy here.
