yes Chris really starts off with a bang. I bet the audience in the first rows would jump up from their seats if the actor bellowed at them like that

Sonia

Hmm, lately it's been a run of sheriffs, crims, and hooray-harry's. I may need some roles at the other end of the spectrum, just to balance things out.

We doing any pantos soon? Or the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet?

the plot thickens, the trap has been laid...a very interesting act again. And perfectly groomed.

Totally PL ok.

If you're thinking of going on stage, there's one leaving in 10 minutes.....

Pantos? There is a role for a mime in The Author's Farce. (You may not question why I did not put that role into the MW fr claiming....)

Thanks, Todd

Act 4 is ready for final PL.

Next, the last act - and Chris gets his comeuppance....

Thanks, Todd

And Act 5 - a short one - is also ready.

You all sound great together. I'll be launching another Plautus shortly. In this one, we had one person as fake twin sisters. In the next we have actual twin sisters seen as one person....

Thanks, Todd

ahhhh it was a gratifying scene

When Chris said "I am the grandson of Venus" this had me rolling on the floor. The thought ! He's really laying it on thick here.

But the entire plot is so craftily developed now that I hear it in sequence. A really great play and highly amusing. I can see how Molière was greatly influenced by such plays.

Both acts PL ok and this project is ready for the catalogue. Thank you all for this entertainment.

And see you in the next one hopefully.

Back in my twenties, that line never failed me in any truck stop from Sydney to Perth.

I bet it broke up many bar-fights.

Nothing stops a bloke going the knuckle on you faster than being dressed in a Son-of-Cupid outfit.

Yes it's because they faint from the shock.

Todd will have to catalogue fast before this gets out of hand.

Cataloging. Which will unleash Son-of-Cupid upon an unsuspecting world....

Thanks, Todd
