~[OPEN]One Act Play Collection 020 - thw

[Inkell]

I haven't yet DPL'd a dramatic work of this length, so I suppose that's the next logical step for me! Reporting for DPL duty, Inkell, if you'll have me.

Thanks,

I'd be happy to have you, Winnifred! Thank you, you're a life saver

This will be longer than the individual plays over in Greek Myths but it is shorter than a full length play with multiple acts so it is a good logical next step if you are building up your experience with PLing dramatic works

EDIT: Todd, can you please delete my listeners wanted post as Winnifred has kindly offered to be our DPL?

[ToddHW]

Your "Listeners Wanted" post deleted.

Thanks, Todd

Here is Lomov. 16:05. A bit loud, but he is very shouty....

To go along with Greg here is Second Brother in Comus as well as Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov in The Proposal.

Chubukov is PL OK and nicely done!

Either shouting or passing out! Very nicely done. Just a couple of notes:

• At 9:55, there’s an extra “Where’s my hat” that isn’t in the text. The line begins just “Here’s my hat…”

• At 11:29, you read the line all the way through without a pause for the stage direction “[laughs].” However, as you actually also laugh there, the stage direction could probably be left out (is that permissible? If so, you can ignore this one.)

And in regards to your question, yes, it is at the discretion of the editor to leave out stage directions if they feel they are already covered such as leaving out [laughs] if the reader actually laughed

Removed the Where's my hat at 9:55. Uploaded again for Spot PL.

When I edit, I often remove stage directions that a reader's voice already takes care of - things like laughs, sighs, speaks softly or loudly or angrily, etc. So I made no change at 11:29.

Thanks, Todd

Makes sense, and certainly flows more smoothly that way.

Correction is fine and this is spot PL OK!

Cheers,

[ToddHW]

Thank you.

[Inkell]

Thank you both! We're making good progress now and I should have the stage directions done soon too, I recorded them awhile so I just need to edit them.

In other news my voice is sounding recovered now so here is the PL corrections for our designing widow:

at 17.57 (line 810) text And settlings of a melancholy blood - but I hear And settings of...
