FULL[PLAY]Gretchen by Gilbert - thw

Here is Act 2 again with the missing line: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/gretchen_gretchen_2_128kb.mp3
And here is Act 3 for Gretchen: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/gretchen_gretchen_3_128kb.mp3

wow and excellent 3rd act. Gretchen is a bit too meek and pious for her own good. It's never really clear what her horrible crime is that she thinks she should chastise herself so much

Anyway...I loved the pain and anguish you put in your voice.

Act 2 is now PL ok.

Two small notes for Act 3 though:

> at 5:10: (p. 188) "God pardon thee" – you say "me" – Gretchen of course would plead more for Faustus than for herself, such is her character

> at 6:42: (p. 192) "oh, uproot the weed" – you say "upright", it's a bit of a different image, uproot sounds stronger and darker, more in line with Gretchen's disturbed mind

Thanks

Thank you for catching those! Here are the corrections:

I wish I had more of a glimpse into what was going on with her but am going to assume it must be something scandalous for her to act in such a way!

Thank you.

I think she doesn't need much. I suppose here it was that she took him from his holy vows, regardless of Faustus assuring her that he didn't take them very seriously

Excellent corrections and PL ok now. A lovely Gretchen, thank you, Jenn ! Now for the dying scene...prepare your handkerchiefs.

And finally here is Act 4 for Gretchen. I hope the dying scene is tragic enough

*sob* this scene is getting to me and you played it all very emotionally. I think there will be no dry eye in the house. Excellently done, no lines missed, all PL ok.

A wonderful performance, thank you so much, Jenn !

At 1:19, I added a sigh for "They sigh and shake their heads" if you need it.

The Voice Credit is in Act 2, which will be along soon.

nicely sighed, but mean indeed all these little prickling comments, probably said with a false-sweet smile on your face. Tststs...

well done, TJ only one small missed bit, Barbara shows up for a short encore at the end of the act spouting out a bit more venom and leaving again

> at about 1:36: (p. 193) missed lines: "Alas, alas ! She hath confessed the truth !"

Thanks
