wow, a huge part ! I like the nuances you put into his character here. While in the beginning he was so trusting and loyal to Ernest and his wife, in the final act he completely changed into a raving madman. Quite a complex character. :thumbs:

Acts 2 and 3 are straight PL ok.

I have only a small question for Act 1:

> at 25:12 and 25:18: (p. 36) repeat "Why ?" – you have two versions, could you only retain the one you preferred ? Or did you want Todd to choose ?

Thank you

ah Pepito is such a little gossip, especially in Act 2 :lol: an excellent job, Adrian, I really enjoyed this character. And another huge role :shock: this play will become quite long.

Acts 1 and 3 are already PL ok.

However, there are a few missed lines in Act 2:

> at about 0:01: (p. 45) you missed the first four quotes:
"By Jove, I see they know all about it."
"We are all here. How do you do, uncle ? How do, father ?"
"Easy. They know what's in the wind."
"What brings you ? – but I suppose you are looking for Ernest."

> at about 12:51: (p. 63) another missed line: "Why do you prevent me ?"

thanks !

Thank you, Sonia. It is such a fascinating, multilayered character. The transformation, as you wrote, made it a lot of fun to read.

Tonight I will fix the repeat in Act One. I do not recall the repeat as anything but a mistake/oversight!

Thank you!

indeed, lots of stage directions, and you did a great job. It was quite tricky finding some of them, the script is not so easy for my eyes.

And thank you for the quick turn-around, always good to have the stage directions in early. 8-)

I'll mark Act 3 PL ok right away.

A few corrections for the other two acts:

for Act 1:

> at about 0:28: (p. 2) could you please also include the full voice credits, just in case someone is missing and we need to insert the description with the narrator's voice ? So: "Teodora, wife of Don Julian, read by..." etc. Everything that is written in the MW basically, Todd always puts the desired descriptions in there.

> at 1:44: (p. 11) "Don Julian, in a low voice with an air of comical mystery" – I think this should better be placed before the speech, so the name needs to be included

for Act 2:

> at 15:59: (p. 66) "Teodora, coming forward to her husband and embracing him" – also here, the name needs to be added

thanks !

Also, the MW specifies the Servant at Don Julian's, but Act II begins with a servant at Ernest's poor lodging, and I don't see a separate listing for that part--should those lines be read by the same person who reads the servant announcing dinner at Don Julian's in Act I? (I may just be being dense.)
You are correct, they are different servants. Fixed the MW
shouldn't this rather be "Ernest's Servant" ? :hmm: It's not in Severo's house where he lives, if I'm not mistaken. In fact in the first act he lives under the roof of Don Julian, but I think he is moving out to his own lodgings for Act 2.

I always find it interesting, how people lived under shabby circumstances, didn't have money, but kept a servant still :lol:

I had also thought the servant in Act 2 was Ernest's... Anyway,I'd like to read the Act 2 servant, however he ends up being designated.
Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.

Thank you. Please record various versions of the voice credit so all possibilities as to who this is are covered!

Thanks, Todd

ah what a great performance, and such a big role too. So sorry that you had to do it all twice. But the end result is quite good. Teodora is such a tragic figure through most of the play, you really did well to capture her sadness and despair. :thumbs: I enjoyed it.

Also, as far as I can see, there are no lines missing. Exceptional work for such a long file. All three acts PL ok.

Thank you so much ! And I hope I see you in another play soon :)
