COMPLETE (play) Hay Fever by Noel Coward - thw

[WendyKatzHiller]

Hay Fever by Noel Coward (1899 - 1973).

Volunteers outside the USA: Noel Coward died in 1973. The author's work is still protected by copyright in places like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, Australia (author's death plus 70 years for authors who died after 1955) or Canada (author's death plus 50 years), UNLESS the rule of shorter term applies.

In this delightful farce/comedy of manners, the eccentric and theatrical Bliss family invites four hapless guests to their English country house for the weekend.

  1. Is there a deadline?
     We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen. Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
  2. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here
     To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
  3. New to recording?
     Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
  4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.210077/page/n5/mode/2up
  5. Please claim roles (the numbers in the first column below)! Please note: All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. When you submit your recording, you will be placing your recording in the public domain as well.
     
     If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
     
     
     
     Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I will MC and set this up for you.

By the way, you need more than 3 sections. I'll give you a bunch and then remove the extra later.

Thanks, Todd

[ToddHW]

All set up; you can fill in the MW now.

NOTE: this is only PD in the US, so I added the warning at the top of the page.

Thanks, Todd

[WendyKatzHiller]

I don't want to DPL, though. How could I get someone to do that?

[ToddHW]

Okay. Removed your name and added the ~ to see if your can attract a DPL.

Thanks, Todd

[WendyKatzHiller]

Thanks! I'll get the hang of this eventually!

[WendyKatzHiller]

I can't seem to access the MW. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Have you logged in to the MW before, for any other project? If not, you'll need to set up a new name and password. It's a different system than the one you use to log in to the forums. Take a look at the first section on this page: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=BC%27s:_How_to_update_the_Magic_Window

[ToddHW]

Sorry - I gave you BC privileges but forgot to tell you to do the MW access thing.

Todd

[WendyKatzHiller]

Thanks.

[WendyKatzHiller]

I THINK we may be ready to move into "Readers Wanted".

[jennlea]

Hi Wendy! Can I claim Sorel?

[WendyKatzHiller]

Yes! Thanks.

[ToddHW]

Moved to Readers Wanted: Dramatic Works.

You might post in Listeners Wanted for a DPL.

Thanks, Todd

Might I read David Bliss?
