wow, you really outdid yourself here with venom :thumbs: Especially this extreme change in tone at the end of this sentence: "This dazzling palace and this stately equipage are a display hateful to me" gave me the shudders. You sound like the perfect Evil Queen in a fairy tale. :mrgreen:

Aglaura is totally PL ok. Thanks for teaming up with me as evil sisters. I had a lot of fun doing this and I think you too.

what a sad farewell scene in this play. The king at least really suffers (unlike the two sisters :lol: ). Very sensitively acted, Alan. Well done. PL ok. Thank you

As there are a lot of unclaimed roles in this play may I offer to read Palemon in the prologue and Zephyr in act 3?

once more, excellent. I like the bit of a husky voice you gave your character. She sounds quite graceful indeed in her demeanour, very fitting. :thumbs:

a couple of notes here though:

> for the voice credit, could you please say “Aegiale, a Grace read by Carolin”

> from 0:08-0:24: “A peace profound” etc. The Graces actually do not take part in the chorus of divinities, they only appear later with Venus. But on further consideration, you can leave it in, maybe Todd wants to include it in the second chorus even though the graces are not named as taking part. :hmm: Probably best to leave him the option.

thanks

yes, that was my reasoning as well in the end. Thank you, it's now PL ok. :)

Stage directions in MW for PL. What a change from PInero's directions!

Note - I combined prologue and Act 1 for now. Likely will be able to keep it this way.

Thanks, Todd

:shock: indeed, this is so much shorter. Molière didn't needlessly give stage directions for every facial expression :lol: (or at least the translator didn't give them)

nicely done, Todd. I only was a bit puzzled by the way you pronounced Psyche. I've never heard it spoken like that. But by the end I was used to it. Strangely enough, in the phrase "Psyche's lover" you said it the way I am used to hearing it. :hmm:

Anyway: Acts 1, 2 and 4 are already PL ok.

PL notes for Acts 3 and 5:

Act 3:

> at 0:45: Scene 4: Love, Psyche - you say Psyche, Zephyr

> at 1:03: you forgot to say "Love, Psyche" after the intro to the third interlude, but maybe that is not necessary, as they don't speak at all there. Actually I noticed in Act 5 you once added Love, Psyche, even though it was missing in the script. Maybe Gutenberg put them at the wrong place :hmm: although this would have been far away from the correct spot.

Act 5:

> at 1:41: optional if you want to include "translated by Charles Heron Wall" in the outro

Great, now you can start assembling already :9:

I made the first change to Act 3; the second item "error" was intentional and I did not change.

I added the translator to the outro at end of Act 5.

Thanks, Todd
