Ulysses awaits in the MW. Attend at your peril. Quack, quack!

Would I not have called for the building of a giant Fluffy Duck instead of a Wooden Horse?

that would have been something. And my "vision" from "Advertise" was not Uncle Scrooge as Ulysses !

You already played Scrooge in that play, which is enough. Ulysses asks for a more wily zany performance. Probably more in the line of Indiana Jones...

I dread to find out how you portrayed him now

PL probably only tomorrow though. The weather is so great here right now that I may go out for a walk for a while.

thank you Greg, excellent performance till the last. You manage to get the inner conflict of the king out pretty well.

Act 3 is PL ok

A couple of small notes for Act 4:

> at 6:02: (p. 187) repeat can be cut once: "to force the Fates to grant their arms success
> at 6:31: (p. 188) "thou fain wouldst leave me but an empty name" – you say "thy fame"

thanks

haha, not at all Scrooge here !

wow, what a change of voice, you dropped it to an unusal pitch here. It gives a totally different vibe and yes, absolutely fitting for Ulysses. Well done, I extremely enjoyed it. Pity that the Odyssee has never been dramatically rendered in a play, at least not as far as I know.

Both acts PL ok, thank you

That was my crack of dawn early morning pre-tea or even water voice after a rather sleepless night. No Audacity effects utilized. Quack!

Hmmm, Odyssey as a play? [Starts to rummage....]

Ah. There was the one-act with the Cyclops a while back, but that's not enough perhaps... [rummaging continues offstage]

Thanks, Todd

I heard your surprise musical ending, is that from a known song or just a spur-of-the-moment outburst ? If this was a Broadway musical, I'm sure Eriphyle would have such a solo song at this point.

Unfortunately here we have to stick to the script, but it made me grin (so don't cut it just yet, so that Todd may have a grin as well).

Excellently portrayed, her anger and envy are extremely well highlighted in your performance.

I'll mark it PL ok, but I have a note for the next act...

> for the voice credit, could you please always read the entire description, as mentioned in the MW, so we don't need to insert the narrator into your voice credit. Here: "Eriphyle, Daughter of Helen and Theseus, read by Diana Kennedy". You can include it into Act 3, so you don't have to reupload this file. I'll make a note for Todd in the MW

Thank you

Sonia

No, the bit at the end was just me messing around at the end of a long recording... glad you got a kick out of it! Sorry for the voice credit mess up, will make sure to fix it when I record Act III. I guess it's a good thing I am submitting one act at a time.

Thanks

wow yes, he is really raging in this act

standing tall to save his beloved, it's what a hero should be prepared to do

Great job, Alan, but you missed the final lines at the end, Achilles still speaks 6 lines to Clytemnestra on page 176, starting with "Madam I will do all I can to serve you" till "in vain the gods may have ordained her death"

Thanks
