~[OPEN]One Act Play Collection 020 - thw

Sadly, this play may not be in the public domain for you. If it is PD, then yes you may be her.

NOTE: Saunders died in 1965. This story is not PD for readers in Europe and/or Australia, and other countries which observe copyright of author's death +70 years.

Thanks, Todd

If it makes you feel any better I do plan to another one if there are spaces left after The Proposal finishes

In the meantime cool to see new plays, shame about the PD-ness of it as it sounds interesting

It’s ok for Canada. Because the law just changed, there’s a caveat allowing for authors who died 1971 or earlier. So no problem on that front.

You'll notice that when a project is posted with an author who died after 1971, the automatic disclaimer that comes up looks like this: "Volunteers outside the USA: Edmond Hamilton died in 1977. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955." (italics mine)

Cheers,

Partial final edit of Comus (missing Spirit and Lady)

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/oneactplays020_01_various_128kb.mp3

Hi Todd
I have uploaded a partial edit of Comus for safe-keeping and just in case someone else needs to finish the editing. Can you put this in MW and I will update it when the 2 remaining roles are available.

I think it will end up being 50-60 minutes long, so should be OK for a single section.
