Sir Joshua Reynolds act 2

ah, a start on this quite interesting play. Thank you Alan. I find it so cute that Sir Joshua seems to be a star-struck admirer of my Fanny Burney character. I can almost see your puppy eyes when you talk to her. So adorable. Excellently played, and PL ok right away.

Here's my first act:

and Campbell, another great characterization on Boswell here. You are playing a bit of a sycophant to Johnson here and showing an almost lecherous side later on when you meet Mrs Woffington and Bet. Interesting take here...nowadays we usually see these "big" people almost as otherwordly genuises, but here we see them warts and all, with emotions and faults. I love this play already.

edit: sorry, it's not ok yet I forgot to copy my PL notes here, how stupid of me....my lame excuse is, I was about to have dinner and was hungry.

> at 1:49: (p. 14) "have you seen the epigram of Mr Garrick on your dictionary" - I think you called the man "Derrick". Since these are real historical figures, maybe it would be good to give them the correct names.

> at about 3:52: (p. 22) please insert: "and pray, sir, who may that be ?"

> at about 5:07: (p. 27) missing line: "your most obedient, madam. In your company and in Dr. Johnson's I could be happy on a desert island."

what a strange ending to the 4th act, somehow this girl seems surreal the way she appears

and poor excited Bet Flint...she doesn't stand a chance with Johnson. He was quite rude with her.

nicely played, all 4 of them. Bet, Judson and Girl are already PL ok. Judson is a bit low on volume, probably due to the perfect dark voice you're doing there I liked it.

Could you just do 2 cuts please in Miss Thrale, because both belong to Mrs Thrale, the mother:

> at 1:18-1:23: (p. 96) "this is too much....etc" - can get cut out
> at 1:30-1:41: (p. 97/98) "that is spoken....etc" - also cut

thank you, Leannem great job again

Sonia

[leanneyauyau]
