In other news, I have started work on adapting the play for a radio style production. Indeed Mrs C=O saw me doing this earlier, and questioned my sanity.

Surely, in this case, that's a good sign. Razz

Good luck with said adapting.

This really must be recorded.

a perfect candidate for cerealization -- maybe on web-radio.

Ah, I am so stupid (hardly unknown).

On the bright side, the fact that it the one thing which I picked it up as 'wrong' suggests, perhaps, that the rest of the script is thoroughly consistent and believable in its use of language???

You're not stupid. Sparacus' idiolect can be a bit hard to navigate Very Happy

You know, having visited the thread in question over at GB, I must say I don't think several of the contributors to that thread appreciate the seminal work that "Orchids in June" represents. They've even accused us Wrinklies of wanting to see this play produced with nefarious motives in mind.

I'm frankly shocked and hurt by this. Wrinklies, nefarious? The two words have never been used in the same sentance before now.

I've just waded through the G.B. thread. I feel that the C=O has done a sterling job there.

I'm afraid that I couldn't bite my tongue any more and added a comment of my own.

With regard to the Wrinkly production, I'd like to participate, but distance means that I cannot. In any case, I think a Scottish accent would be rather out of place.

Has casting begun, yet?

I would have thought a scottish accent would be perfect for the character of Jethro.

Bruce Campbell should be in this play. There is no higher praise than that.

I'm still working on the script. Expect developments by next weekend.

I'm not sure that I could get my voice far enough down in my boots to play Jethro.

*sees C=O's post*

Ooooh. Good stuff!

by Aspadistra Mon Oct 26, 2009 11:08 am

I should like to thank C=O for his kindness to me elsewhere on the Internet.

by andrea Tue Oct 27, 2009 3:25 am

I feel an incredible urge to have a light salad.

This is excellent stuff indeed.

Two scenes in one night. Veriily we are blessed. And what an awesome finale. 10/10. Very Happy

An astounding finale. I love the how unhinged Rosemary is in the epilogue.

What a lovely twist! I could have sworn it was going to have been the inspector - trying to up his monthly stats.

Can I play the part of the orchids?

by **The Co=Ordinator** Wed Oct 28, 2009 12:55 am

I'll be working on the script for the next few days and will update in the Wrinkly Drinkly thread start of next week.

Mother doesn't want to discuss Brecht. She's in a state of shock.

What more is there to say?

Except, of course, that I demand to play the part of Bob Ware!

by sparacus Thu Oct 29, 2009 12:14 pm

Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm pleased that my work has recieved such an encouraging response. I can confirm that my next project will be a return to Ben Chatham fiction. Very Happy
