As promised, a start on Marcus.

2_4 is a difficult scene for an actor playing Marcus, and I know the text has been much criticized for four centuries. He finds his niece mutilated and stands there making a poetic speech while she stands there bleeding and he doesn't seem to make any attempt to help her until the speech is over.
That being said, I hope I did it justice.

Marcus sounds very upright and valiant :thumbs: well done, Brad, thanks.

I'll mark 2.2. straight PL ok.

a few small notes for 1.1.

> at 3:54: "my nephew Mutius" – should be pronounced "Myoo-shus"

> at about 5:03: missed ALL line: "No man shed tears for noble Mutius / He lives in fame that died in virtue’s cause." (MW note says, Marcus should be included there)

thanks

Sonia
