FULL[PLAY]The Town Before You by Cowley - thw

[ToddHW]

Todd: while PLing Conway I found that on page 35 there is a line for one of the three unnamed gentlemen entering with Tippy and Conway "why, Tippy, how is this ? is it the first of April today ?" we need another entry for that role in the MW

Sonia

Yet again you save me from myself.

Thank you! Todd

yes ! Conway is great, such a good friend, but also explosive when feeling slighted. All these nuances are well acted

Acts 1, 3 and 5 are straight PL ok.

A few suggestions for improving the other two acts:

Act 2:

> at 0:14: (p. 34) "it is she" - you say "it is thee"

> at 2:08: (p. 36) "Oh that saves my life. And where is he now ?" - I would suggest saying the first line as the aside and the second aloud, because she is replying to his second question and the first was not meant for her ears to not give his love away easily. Often in old scripts the word "aside" comes after the quote it refers to.

> at 2:15: (p. 36) "but if you should not love me, I should die" - maybe the emphasis is best put on "me" (also in italics in the text) because he replies to the fact that another man got over her so quickly, but he won't

Act 4:

> at 1:00: (p. 59) "what grace can dignity of soul bestow" - you say "foul" which doesn't really make sense here

> at 1:03: (p. 59) "the very conduct which..." -you say "conduit"

thanks

brilliantly naughty and frivolous, Jenn, excellently done love to hear more from her. Thanks

Act 1 is PL ok.

One cut for Act 2:

> at 4:38: (p. 36) repeat "Yes I pitied him, because I could not love him" - is there one version you prefer, then maybe cut out the other

Thank you very much, Sonia!

No idea why I repeated the line but I cut one of them here:

aww she sounds so young and carefree, a bit malicious, but nobody can be mad at her. Lovely acted, Jenn, thanks.

Acts 2, 3 and 4 are PL ok.

One missed line for Act 5:

> at about 2:55: (p. 98) missed line, this was hiding a bit, but considering the context, this must be Georgina speaking: "It is, it is herself. My charming Savoyard, how I rejoice to see you. You are my mother, sister, friend"

And that means Acts 3 and 4 are ready for final assembling

thanks
