More Emendations and Suggestions

Hello, friends, here are some more minor adjustments.

**make sure to change every Right/Wrong in the text to Strong/Weak**

We stopped on page 104...
Nina: Leader parts on that page
John M.: Chorus, "How greatly...Swiftly is obeyed"
105:
Percy: "You see how...Luck don't always last"
Strep: At line 816, change "and nibble at Megacles' pillared portico" to "eat cheetos at your uncle's."; line 831: get rid of "of Melos"
106:
Pheid: At line 853, change "sons of the soil" to "loonies"
107:
Strep: line 864, change "obol" to "dollar" and "little toy cart for the Diasia" to "little toy car"
Soc: ling 876: change "Hyperbolus" to "John Kerry" (maybe?)
Strep: change Right to Strong and Wrong to Weak in that mid-page monologue
108:
Strong: line 891, change "bold as brass" to "such a show-off"
Strong: line 897, change "contrive" to "manage"
WeaK: line 907, get rid of "foghound" and change "a" to "an"
109:
Strong and Weak: cut lines 921-927
110:
Weak: get rid of "How redolent of cicada brooches, oxslaugter trials, and Cedeides" at line 985
111:
Strong: line 997, change "antediluvian" to "old fogey"
Weak: line 1001, get rid of "just like the sons of Hippocrates and be called"
112:
Lyndi: Chorus lines "O how sweet...real Golden Age!"
Dana: Chorus lines "He's impressed us...showcase your sexiest Muse."
Sydney: leader lines toward the bottom
113:
Right: line 1050, change Heracles to Hercules
Strong and Weak: delete "Many people. For example" through Weak's lines before [to Pheidippides] at 1072 (about 11 and a bit lines total deleted there)
114:
We'll be changing this a bit, or in the very least getting rid of "faggot"


***Mandy, playing Weak, posted a couple of changes to her part at my "Inaugural Post"***

And I'll post the rest later. Each of you should start compiling your lines so that we can make an 8.5 x 11 size script for our rehearsals. We will be doing a read-through next week. We're probably WAY over time and will need to cut more.

Carpe diem!

  • Just wanted to see about the Chorus part on the bottom of page 109 and the Leader part on page 110. You didn't assign that (unless I missed it). Do you want to move everyone up (so I would have that Chorus part and Dana would have the Leader part) or just put someone in there?

  • Doh! Let's settle it this way: John D take the Leader parts on page 109; Jes take the chorus part on p109; Nicole take the Leader part on top of p110. You three are Chorus only and as such should have more lines than the hyrbids. You also have great attendance (yay!), for which you should be rewarded.

    Thanks for noticing, Lyndi.
