The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

So what's the plan? Let the party rock? I'll make sure to wake Belegon up in time to at least see the grande finale...

And - surprisingly - I still remember what I had in mind for Thiliel...

Once I'm back (which will be from the 12th onwards), I'll try to breathe some life into things on the burglars' side (and in the meantime, maybe Nerwen hasn't entirely abandoned the stage in favour of a movie career [read: WW]).

Question for Ang to chew on while I'm away: would there be a dramatically ideal moment in Sador's play for us to interrupt it?

I've just had too much on my plate as well– and this seems to go for everyone else, too.

Also we need the play to progress a bit further before we interrupt. Though, I could probably start start writing about what the burglars are doing in the meantime...

I sent a script to the mighty Aldarion. Basically there are two scenes and the second should be at least partly done ere the interruption...that's why I kind of wanted to 'skim' over the rest of the reading and 'cut' to performing it in front of the guests artificially quickly...as a result, maybe the phantom can delay Aldarion's emotional reaction to when we're writing the 'live' performance?

I'm sorry to have been hopeless - especially to Inziladun whom I left dangling very cruelly - I'm currently abroad which is not necessarily bad news for writing p&q, and aim to get back in the game in all senses

[Inziladun]

No drama, Ang. Whenever you're ready is good.

[Anguirel]

Really really quick one to advance the sailor-boy's tale!

[Inziladun]

All right, Ang. Cirdacil's going to love this.

That's fine- if Sador already had it planned to perform the thing obviously there'd be no chance to change anything and Aldarion would recognize the pointlessness of voicing any complaints until after all is said and done (all it would do is encourage the actors to pull away from the performance), so yes, he'd continue with his fine dedication as indicated in my last post. (Though it's possible that Gloredhel would know that Aldarion found a couple things odd about the script, either due to subtle expressions or just from knowing his deep-seated likes and dislikes.)

But where are we performing precisely? Layout? Audience? Since the guests are yours, did you wish to determine reactions and such? Aldarion didn't plan any of this and is in unfamiliar territory, so I don't feel I can advance any of the action at this point, but I'll certainly react to what you put forth.
