This a favourite of mine too. I have been trying for some time to decide how best to record it, it's a bit short for a Dramatic Work but I hope it will sound ok

Here is the inchantress, who is planning mischief methinks:

I originally thought of doing this as a 1-act play but decided that if the Prologue is dramatised as well as the other acts it has too many roles for a 1-act play (16 or 17). So then I started to read it as a short solo, but after reading the Prologue decided that the other acts were manageable as a DW. So it will end up as a bit of a hybrid and rather short for a stand alone DW but I hope it will be acceptable

indeed the prologue had lots on one-liner roles. But with doubling voices it could have been done.
It's a bit out of the ordinary to do it this way, but why not
Thanks for the quick PL

Nicely rhythmically read, I liked the way you differentiated the different chorus groups

Maybe I could take the last part, that of Woman, attendant on Queen. It is one part, right? or are they two separate women?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I think there are 2 women in act 1 and just 1 in act 2 but they are all attendents on the queen so the same voice will be fine for all the lines. The modern spelling text gives all the woman lines to Belinda.
