Thanks for the encouragement, Sonia! This was fun

I did a few versions of the omnes lines and wasn't sure which would sound best with the other characters- so I just left them in.

Villers Act 5:

thank you Marya

Villers is still excellent till the end.

And yes, Todd can choose the one he likes best if you cannot decide

I have only two small notes, actually concerning the Omnes lines:

> from 3:05-3:11: "hahaha" - so cool that you didn't forget the ALL lines, but here actually Villers is not on stage when the others laugh, so this part could be cut out (sorry about that)

> from 3:54-4:01: "joy joy joy" - here Villers is rightly included, as he has appeared on stage by that time. Could you just place it to time stamp 3:30 (where there already is one example of this line) ? It will make it easier for our editor if all the quotes are in the correct order.

Also careful sometimes when stage directions are inside your sentences, there you should also leave more space for Todd to copy&paste. Very often you did it, but sometimes you forgot. No need to change it this time, I just mention it for further plays.

thanks

Sonia

May I do 1st Mask? Jim

Post by **ToddHW** » January 28th, 2021, 8:39 am

Thank you.

Just in case, "mask" I believe was something worn by, er, well, not the gentlemen in certain social situations so as to disguise identity; then "Mask" used to refer to the disguised people as well.

Thanks, Todd

now this had me nearly rolling on the floor

you play the drunken revel quite excellently and convincingly

(easy on the schnapps here, Jim ! don't drink and record !

)

I loved the performance. Wonderfully funny. Act 2 is straight PL ok.

I also found the link for Act 4 in Todd's folder (you forgot to post it

) and here you missed two lines:

> at about 1:03: please insert: "Charity, fair Lady! Charity for a poor Pilgrim."

> at about 1:55: please insert Omnes line: "Kitty Willis ! hahaha !"

Thank you for this funny contribution.
