I keep thinking that your role is the evil Nazgul.... Maybe cuz I'm involved in The Ring cycle play. Or just that I like hobbits. Who knows?

Anyway, thank you.

I should have used my Nazgul voice for this part. Too late now. :(

:lol: Holdfast really got frightened in the end, I loved this last performance.

Buckram is already PL ok.

One small note for Holdfast:

> at 0:11: (p. 76) "I have been watching for him the whole day" - you say "watching him for", which changes the meaning

thank you

now isn't he highly dramatic :lol: very well played, Rick. I loved all of Asgill's pining and sighing and the overplayed heroism in the end while he was emulating someone like Errol Flynn in his final words. :mrgreen: excellent job, and all acts are PL ok. :thumbs:

Thanks

it more than helps. Two scene-stealing performances :thumbs: I especially liked that rascal slopseller, he sounded quite shifty :lol: not sure I would have bought anything from him. Though I have a PL note for this part:

> at 0:39: (p. 56) "and will make a noble sailor" - you say "father"

The man in Act 5 is straight PL ok, thanks

Question for Todd: for this first man you write "Asgill's servant", though I think he is more a sort of police officer maybe. :hmm: Did you maybe want to put "Asgill's servant" in the section for one of the numerous servants, to differentiate. They are confusing enough as it is. :?

Of course, you are right. Very confusing. I fixed the MW, though it doesn't really matter....

Thanks, Todd
