I know you have one thing from me to include - but I ask again, anything anyone would particularly like to hear included which has so far been missed out?

I've recorded two of Queen Margaret's speeches from Henry VI Part 3. Here's the first one, from 1.1:

I have not read this since using it for a audition piece in college. I ended up with the part of Peter Quince in Midsummer's...another WS character that directs a play within a play (there's poetic justice for you).

Here we go. I've only recorded a couple of poems so far and am a newbie. I think I did it correctly this time. I checked and I don't think this one has been done in the previous monologue collections.

Title: Romeo and Juliet - Thou Know'st The Mask of Night is On My Face (Act 02, Scene 02)
Artist: William Shakespeare
Album: Shakespeare Monologues 05

Here's the text...
