Acts 2-5 are assembled and I'm halfway (?) through assembling Act 1. Then I'll have to groom them before final PL.

Sorry it is taking me so long to get through assembling this. Very long acts, and I'm having some trouble with my hands these days...

Thanks, Todd

Post by **ToddHW** » June 23rd, 2021, 4:36 pm

Okay, everything is assembled. And each act is less than the 74 minute limit (act 1 makes it by less than 2 minutes), so I won't have to cut any into two files.

Now, to groom....

Thanks, Todd

Act 1 is ready for Final PL.

You all sound wonderful. I am enjoying listening to you all.

Thanks, Todd

Post by **Kitty** » June 28th, 2021, 5:05 am

wow yes, Act 1 was quite long

but very entertaining, so many people chattering with each other, all excellently and uniquely portrayed.

I really enjoyed it all and look forward to the rest.

Act 1 absolutely PL ok. Great editing, Todd, as always.

Just a small typo in your cast list: "Lady Chichhele" - only one 'h' in the middle

Thanks

Fixed - I had it wrong in the MW and that's how I generate the cast list.

Thanks, Todd

Act 2 is now ready for Final PL.

The hypocrisy is nicely done herein....

Thanks, Todd

The hypocrisy is nicely done herein....

indeed, especially Mrs St Roche...seemingly outraged by Mrs Ware, but clearly having a love-toy on the side as well...

The whole act was very entertaining, with so many people buzzing about. Excellently acted, all of you !!!

Todd, I found one small missed bit:

> at 18:55: (p. 83) Levan also said "It's a dead un" right before Sir George repeats it. Not sure if I missed it in the part PL

maybe you can find it back in Levan's file, or maybe it was missing there as well.

In that case, I guess it doesn't matter too much

Thanks

Sonia

Found it in Levan's file and added it in. Ready for Spot PL.

Hypocrisy also included that the guys were upset about Mrs Ware having been at a certain kinda party - where they too had been when they saw her!

Thanks, Todd

Act 3 is ready for final PL. Another long act, I'm afraid, but then Acts 4 and 5 together will only be another hour total.

Thanks, Todd

Post by **ToddHW** » June 29th, 2021, 12:34 pm

Act 4 is ready for final PL.

Thanks, Todd

Post by **ToddHW** » June 29th, 2021, 2:21 pm

And Act 5 is ready for final PL.

There is a missing line - "Butterfly - ?" - by the Princess at 35:55; I PM'd to get it a week ago but without response. I think we can live without it. (I cut the associated stage direction as well.)

Happy ending for everyone seems more like a Broadway musical than a Pinero!

Thanks, Todd

great, now PL ok.

I see you've finished them all

Already started early and will try to listen to the rest now. Stay tuned. I predict we can wrap this up today.

ha yes, I thought that as well. But men seem to think they have a right to be there, not so women if they want to be respectable. They don't consider that if women were not there, the evening would have been boring for them.
