Thank you both.

Alan - one of the problems with getting yourself typecast is that you start to figure that all roles can be fit into your cast....

Thanks, Todd

Like a French version of Gillingham

indeed another doddering old fool. This one is even worse than Gillingham I think. But you played him hilariously

Got me giggling. Thank you, Act 1 is PL ok.

ah I was curious about Chicaneau, because he has such a long dialogue with my Countess. And a brilliant job you're doing, Mike

How those two can switch from friends to foes in only one scene is a marvel. Looking forward to hearing this assembled.

PL ok as well. Thank you !

ah well, Leander is a bit of a schemer, but quite ingenious in his plot.

Nicely done, Adrian, thank you so much. Perfectly PL ok right away.

Poor overworked and underfed Petit-Jean is going to take a short nap in the MW while he awaits his PL. Or his chicken. Which ever comes first....

Thanks, Todd

hehehe, the typical over-protective father who gets duped by the daughter and her lover

this scene was worthy of Molière. Actually Racine is not bad at this comedy thing, I wonder why he only had one.

Excellent job again, Mike, totally PL ok.

Thank you. Now for your finale, you will probably be exasperated at the end of the day.

are you sure it was the mastiff that ate the capon ?

I don't really believe this underfed-fairy-tale...

be this as it may, Petit-Jean (or Little John, for the English-speakers) is perfectly acted out.

I especially like the harumphing in the prompter's scene. This will be really fun later on assembled.

PL ok. Thank you ! no go and eat some more... you need to stay strong and healthy for all our future plays.
