Not sure about the underscore after the file name. This seems to be getting added on upload. I have tried it a couple of times, but it keeps doing it. I'm guessing you can rename the file from your end.

Let me know if there is a problem and I can try reloading.

Cheers

Don't worry about the filename, Craig; these files are going to be deleted later anyway. Thank you for editing this play's iconic scene; everyone acted this wonderfully! PL OK!

Two more scenes left to edit! In the meantime I will try to piece together Act 1 tomorrow.

Act 1 is now ready for final PL!

We really did so well here, I think we sound like a professional cast!

Act 3 is also ready!

I believe Sonia is going to be away for the next few days, so she can look forward to listening to these when she returns.

Hoping to have my last 2 scenes finished in a couple of days. Sorry for the delay!

Thank you for the update, Jenn! No worries. My editing time will likely be limited this week, so it might take an extra few days for me to edit together Acts 2 and 4, but please upload the scenes whenever they're ready.

And Act 5 is also ready for PL. The final scene is just so much fun.

super job on the 3 acts that are finished so far. I listened to them all in a row now and it was really a treat. What mayhem in some of them. And yes, the song and also the voice effects in the final act are brilliant and work well.

All three acts PL ok. Getting close to the end.

Thank you all

Sonia

Sorry to be the one holding us back from getting this wrapped up. Here is 2.2:

Falstaff in 4.5 is PL-OK! I should have time to finish that scene up this weekend.

Thanks Jenn! At this point I won't listen to these scenes separately, to save myself the time. I'll mark it down as PL OK right away in the MW and informally PL it while editing together Act 2. I'm sure nothing is out of place, though, so I have no worries.

I'll see how much I can edit this weekend.

Act 2 is all edited and now ready for final PL!

I'll try to get started on Act 4 tonight. We may very well be finished by the end of the weekend now!

WiltedScribe · Post by **WiltedScribe** » August 13th, 2022, 10:07 pm

And Act 4 is also ready for PL! With that, we're done!

Here is the cast list for the catalogue:

<a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789">Tomas Peter</a>: Narrator; Master Page; Host of the Garter Inn; Pistol & William Page. 
<a href="https://librivox.org/reader/9905">Brad “Hamlet” Filippone</a>: Sir John Falstaff; Fenton; Rugby & Second Servant to the Fords. 
<a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11305">Craig Franklin</a>: Master Ford; Sir Hugh Evans & Justice Shallow. 
<a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10179">Sonia</a>: Mistress Page; Doctor Caius & Nym. 
<a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13140">Jenn Broda</a>: Mistress Ford; Anne Page; Bardolph & Simple. 
<a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13852">Kelly S. Taylor</a>: Mistress Quickly; Slender; Robin & First Servant to the Fords.

Sonia, could you also make sure the catalogue links in the summary to the two Henry IV plays will work after the catalogue entry appears? This always seems to be an issue when I link to our older Shakespeare titles, for some reason.

Anyway, a HUGE thank you to everyone for working hard and expeditiously to finish this play in just a month after we launched! Despite the quick work we made of it, we didn't sacrifice quality and the finished product is an incredibly enjoyable listen.

Wonderfully acted, with the finale song capping things off magnificently. I hope everyone will take the time to listen because I think it's one of our best efforts yet.

There will be our customary break for the next while to give everyone a breather. Then: off we'll go to France to tackle one of the most popular Shakespeare plays in Henry V!

excellent editing again and all PL ok. The letter rustling was a bit excessive in the beginning, but ok, since one could hear the speeches very well still.

It was a huge slapstic comedy all the way through and we all played our parts brilliantly, I think. The outcome is well worth the listen.

Will launch cataloguing now and post link when done.

WOW we managed this in only one month
