Another enjoyable farce by Pinero, including memory loss, mistaken identity, crime and detection, romance, and many other of life's various complications. "Your husband?" "My husband!" "Begorra! It's not bigamy, but trigonometry, he's been attempting". ( ToddHW)
Here we go again! But instead of another serious Pinero, let's do another farce. This play is subtitled "An Original Fantastic Comedy in Three Acts" so it should do the trick.
Gender neutral. The ever fun loving Kitty has said "I do" to the role of our being our project-long DPL.
Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen. Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
Please claim roles (the numbers in the first column below)! Please note: All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. When you submit your recording, you will be placing your recording in the public domain as well.
If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

yes you may, thank you, Foon. Do I remember correctly that you spent some time in Ireland ? You will be familiar with her accent then
Sonia
I have never been there, actually! I really want to go, but there are also so many other places I want to go so it hasn't happened yet But I've heard on multiple occasions that I have a soft Irish accent, I have no idea where that came from though!
Foon - Real life is getting in the way of LV, will be slow until all is back on track, please bear with me!

right ! they took the full name of their husbands. Some names would be a reason for me NOT to marry that guy

I call him "Marmy" in the play -- isn't that adorable?
