hello, I find this this prologue to be lovely

1 Prologue, Act 1

and was wondering if I might also read that, but then I do already have a part at the end so that might not be allowed

Your other part isn't until Act 3, so yes, you may read the prologue.

Thanks, Todd

Fingers crossed!
Here at long last are the PL notes for Act 1 Stage Directions, my apologies for the delay :(

Hi dc
You have corrected most of the problems noted earlier, but there are still some errors.

PL Notes for act 1:
at 5.36 text is after many salutations but the word salutations is not clear
at 9.40 text is Shakuntala starts to walk away but I hear She starts....
at 10.49 missing line Cries behind the scenes
at 11.29 text is The Same but I hear The Hermitage
at 12.13 words his wreath and with his bow are almost inaudible
at 14.50 directions Right Shakuntala and Left King are in the wrong order
at 15.40-15.56 directions here are almost inaudible
around 17.27 directions are almost inaudible
at 17.40 text is The same but I hear The hermitage
a lot of the directions in scene 2 will need amplifying before editing

As a general comment, you have only left gaps of 1-2 seconds between directions, it would help the editor if you left longer gaps in the other acts.

feel free to give me absolutely any notes
PL note:
for the voice credit please say Suvrata, inhabitant of the grove of the Gods
Otherwise all is OK!
