Ok, here are the stage directions ...

Shaw doesn't include a dramatis personae section but I've included one anyway, based on the MW, as I expect you'll need something to identify the contributors. Please ignore if not useful.

Hi and thank you for claiming. As this is a play please leave at least 3 to 4 seconds silence between each line that your character says. This helps with editing later on. Thanks

Here are Gregory Lunn's speeches.

One point I'd like to add. I noticed that you have listed "A Matter of Fact Male Voice" as a separate character. That one line is actually Juno's line just before he enters with Mrs Lunn. Mrs Juno even says, "That was my husband's voice" immediately after. Shaw has a habit of not naming his characters until the name comes up in dialog--for example, Mrs Juno being "The Lady" for her first line.

Good Evening all,

I see in the Magic Window that the role of Juno is still open. Should this be the case, I would like to claim it, if possible.

As a matter of clarification, does anyone know if this play is Public Domain in Ireland? Undertaking this part would be dependent on it being so.

Many thanks,

Sláinte,

Aiken

Hi Aiken the public domain in Ireland is +70 years from the death of the author so this is ok for you. I will sign you up.
