Threats to a DPL for a fast PL OK response? I am not sure that is a good practice to follow. Though is successful, it could prove tempting....

Thanks, Todd

it's the kind of thing Queen Aurea would do... :mrgreen: she has a blackmailing streak in this play.

Okay, Todd, here are two of my parts-

Triton: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/silverage_triton_3.mp3 (1 min, 11 secs)
Cerberus: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/silverage_cerberus_5.mp3 (2 mins, 15 secs)

Now with Cerberus, because he is a three-headed dog I thought it would sound cool if all three of his heads are talking at once so I recorded the lines three times (I practically had the part memorized by the end :P ) then merged them together. Personally I'm quite pleased with it but I'm not the editor so in case you dislike that or don't want to use it, I did still include a normal reading of the lines (I still have a copy with all three original readings that I can submit if you want that but to make it easier for PL and since it's probably not necessary I cut two for this submission)

Thank you. I will listen to both Cerberus versions when I finally edit and decide.

I did a Dramatis Personae, but did it from the MW so the order may be a little odd. And, I kept looking for a Scenae 2 in any of the acts, but must of missed them. :wink:

Apologies for taking so long to PL! Life got super crazy over the last few weeks.

Act 3-5 are all PL-OK!

Act 1 Notes:
1:15- missing “Andromeda read by…” (that was a large DP! I listened several times and I believe that is the only one missing.)
5:58- missing “Perseus kills Pretus

Act 2 Notes:
2:36- missing “Exeunt
2:58- heard “Amphitrio beats his men.”; text reads “Amphitrio beats in his men.”. I believe this might mean he gives his men a beat to get into a formation as they exit the stage. But please correct me if I’m wrong!
