could I have a go at the Grandmother please ? This is a really cool dramatic play with a great outcome.

Since Chuck's play is "boys only", I will not butt in there :mrgreen: (unless you want the narrator to bring in a female touch)

BTW I totally agree, Chuck, such a play needs to be in character to keep the vibe it wants to convey. No need to feel guilty, we also launched a "girls' only" play once (and that was a full-length comedy, not a one-acter). I think we all feel emancipated and equally-treated enough here on the forum and won't be offended by such things.

Todd, here is already a start for Molière with the Stage directions. I know you're happy to have these in right away.

The play is an absolute hoot. :lol: Especially Sganarelle needs to be very athletic, jumping in and out of windows constantly and changing is clothes in the process. Tomas, I bet you will play this role with the needed exertion :mrgreen:

Haha. It's mostly just the two main roles I'm worried about. :lol: So if you'd still like to do the narration, I certainly wouldn't object (although I know you're already super-duper busy).
PROJECTS
Current Solo:Septimius Felton (Hawthorne's final novel)
Help Needed: Strange Interlude (O'Neill's Freudian melodrama - roles available!)

Yes, that's one of my favorite things about this play -- it's very short! :-)

Thanks Sonia!
