Oh dear, you keep bringing up favourites that I can't resist offering for. Please let me have the Chorus.

Thanks, role assigned.
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 :hmm:

Thanks Sonia :wink:
This is such a short work that all the roles are quite short, even Dido :lol:

:shock: indeed, ultra short. Some one act plays are longer.

Here is the inchantress, who is planning mischief methinks:

Inchantress is PL OK! :thumbs:

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 :hmm:

:shock: 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 :wink:

Thanks for the quick PL :)

Chorus is all PL OK! :thumbs:
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!

That would be great as it makes us fully claimed :thumbs:
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.
