Thanks, Tomas!

Act 3 now PL ok, as are acts 8-10. I have a couple of notes for 7. (Not that surprising, since most of the act is Aladdin monologuing!)

7:
8:23 Slight word change. I'll call this one OPTIONAL, as it works either way, I think. Text reads (p. 181): "...and points to yon great spider..." I hear: "...and points to you great spider..."
8:59 Another word change here. It is the same meaning but breaks the (admittedly loose) rhyme structure. Text reads (p. 182): "Thou only lead'st me to my Father's home." I hear: "Thou only lead'st me to my Father's house."

I'm about 2/3 of the way through editing for act 2. It is sounding amazing, I can't wait for everyone to hear it! I'd be hard pressed to say which is my favorite part, there are some real gems in here!

Very nice. Very, very nice. Great voices throughout. I can't wait to hear what happens next!

A few very optional comments, where narration words and reader voice tone duplicate:
@9:20, p 37: you could delete "and with gentle voice" - similar to how you deleted the "Aloud" just before it - since the voice alone communicates that
@13:30, p 39-40: you could delete "The first (softly)", "The second (pityingly)", "The first", "The second", etc - that is all very clear from the voices, and the narration disturbs the flow of the alternating reader poetry
@31:03, p51: you could delete "Shouts" since Alan does just that

Thanks, Todd

Good suggestions, Todd. I had considered deleting the directions in the alternating poetry and hadn't quite made up my mind to it. Thanks!

I left the direction at 9:20 alone, since I find that deleting only a part of a sentence doesn't generally give a good result. I changed the others as suggested.

Sorry for dragging my feet on the editing. :roll: Act 4 is ready for PL!

And I am assembling act 5 now. As the act with possibly the most unison lines in the play, I fear it will also take me a long while, even if I don't push it to the back burner. :? But never fear, it shall be done!
