Thanks, Todd

I think for my own personal safety I need to disown most of the sentiments expressed by this character. I did not really choose this part, Chris said he thought it would suit me

ah don't worry, Alan, I actually didn't find Gregory too horrible. Yes, he has an antipathy (or should I say trauma ?) against widows

but this comes from his troubled history, seeing so many premiers fail because of them. He is a sort of motherhen for them and cares a lot, that explains his reaction. And when you get to Act 3 you'll see, Gregory and Widow Pretty get along well and become partners in crime

he is fully redeemed by the end of the play.

You did play the character excellently. A sort of disillusioned man throughout, nicely conveyed. Now looking forward to his subtle change of mind in act 3.

PL ok. Perfect job. Thank you

Sonia

Grumpy Old Misogynist - act 3

I actually found him quite endearing somehow (in a grumpy sort of way). Think Walter Matthau...

Totally PL ok in any case, and for what it's worth, I totally liked the performance and I think our dialogue will sound cool together.

Todd: that means, Act 3 is ready to finish up

This time I will be listening to the play in reverse order.

Thanks, Alan

I totally agree. We all sound like we really rehearsed and practiced in the same room.

A wonderful ending, and I can't wait to listen to the rest of the play. Todd, excellent assembling, I agree with all the cuttings. This is PL ok, straight-away.

O'Reilly is hilarious, brilliant, TJ ! I don't predict a very big career for him even with the Premier's support. Let's say, his job motivation is wanting a bit.

I loved the accent and your "old man" voice.

Totally PL ok. Now you can go back to sleep.

Thanks for making this small scene very memorable. I wouldn't have minded if he had shown up again in Act 3, asking for another job.

Todd: good news from Pete, he has PMed me that he recorded his Herbert Dix, and is in the editing phase.

Thanks, Sonia! Ha ha ha! That would have been funny if I came back! Can you believe it? They actually wanted me to keep awake for the job! Don't workers' rights mean anything to these people?!!!
