COMPLETE[DRs]DR Scene and Story Collection, Volume 003 - thw

We don't have an overall DPL volunteer for this project yet. Each DR BC needs to arrange for the PL of their parts and completed DR.

Thanks, Todd

I haven't coordinated a DR before, and this looks like a fun and easy way to start. Thank you for the clear guidance!

"By Courier" by O. Henry, from his collection "The Four Million"
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2776/2776-h/2776-h.htm#chap23
O. Henry died 1910 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._Henry

5 roles, including the narrator
Originally published in 1906
Characters:
Narrator (I'll read that part)
Young Man (I think this role should be gender-perfect)
Boy (speaks in slang/dialect; I think this role could be gender-neutral)
Young Lady (quite highbrow; I think this role should be gender-perfect)
Robert Ashburton (letter only; could be gender-neutral)

Thank you. All set up.

Doesn't matter here since you have a script, but usually better to go up a level in Gutenberg when you give a link there so that people can chose the format they want.

PL OK! Nice job.

May I be the narrator in section 2, Barriers Swept Away?

(P.S. Todd, thanks for the tip on Gutenberg links.)

Yes, please and thank you!

Also, I'll be the Young Lady in your story.

The Young Lady is ready for PL!

Thank you very much! She is PL OK and very well read

I also PL'd Leslie from Barriers Swept Away--I hope that's appropriate; still figuring out how PLing works for this project. That was fine to listen to in headphones

and splendidly dramatic. There were four small hitches that I noticed.
In three places I thought a longer pause, either for the narrator's part or for Anne's part, would be helpful: at 0:18 after “when you were so ill” leave longer pause for narrator, at 6:41 after "No," and at 7:53 after "Do you know how?"
Also at 4:06 in ‘than I’ve ever done since” I’m hearing “dove” for “done.”

Will read the narrator part this afternoon.

Thank you.

How PL works in this and the One Act Play collection: There is no overall DPL for the project. The BC for each DR or Play is responsible for getting sections in their offering, and the complete edited file, PL'd. That can be by themselves (except for the final file PL), by strict previous arrangement with someone, by folks answering pleas in the forum, or by the help of fortuitous volunteers.

I will try to indicate in the MW who is PL'ing what, if I can figure it out, so that nothing gets PL'd twice and so that Spot PL hopefully gets done by the original PL'er.

Thanks, Todd

May I read Section 14, the Narrator from Alice's Tea Party, please?

Thank you.

Reading the narrator for Alice's Tea Party, there's a line highlit for the dormouse which I think is actually one of Alice's:

Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to some tea and bread-and-butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her question.

Dormouse: “Why did they live at the bottom of a well?”

Thank you for signing up! And doubly thank you for catching that! I've corrected the script.
