I could pretend to be an adult if need be.

Thanks, Todd

That essentially describes me in my 40s.

Thanks Todd. I've added you to the MW and we're now officially full.

This might be the fastest I've ever filled up a dramatic work project. Wow! Thanks all! Eugene O'Neill would be proud of us. :clap: :clap: :clap:

This was a more challenging role than I had anticipated, but a good one.
Blessings on whomever reads those stage directions! Made finding some of the lines difficult, so I hope I didn't miss too many . . . .

Oh, yes. Eugene O'Neill's stage directions are notoriously verbose and over-explanatory... and from what I gather, it made staging his productions back when O'Neill had a lot of say about major exhibitions a major pain.

Anyway, thanks again for recording this. This is a great performance and I'm glad to have you in this particular project, especially since your character kinda dominates the first act. Everything is great, but I noticed one (very very minor) mistake:

11:20 - "...and yet, by staying home and resting and finding healthy outdoor recreation among your old friends..." - the phrase "and resting" is omitted from the recording

I'm also exceptionally glad you managed to read all that Latin at the end so effortlessly. :lol:

Well, thank you for the kind words, Chuck. But, I wouldn't say the Latin was effortless - not my forte, but I do my best, and with some editing maybe it comes close. :roll:

Here is the file with the missing phrase. Glad that was it. :)
