Good Omens Casting and Logistics - 14:30, Saturday 2nd May

[wildeabandon]

Okay, logistics and casting for Good Omens below. I've cast the leads for all episodes, but if you turn out not to be able to make it when you're cast then I'll try to sort out a swap. Please note that we're going to use Zoom instead of Jitsi this time.

Software: We'll be using Zoom. Ideally you would download a client here, beforehand (available for Windows, Mac and Linux). I've enabled the setting that means you can join through a browser, but apparently it works less well than the client.

I'll open the meeting a few minutes before 14:30 on Saturday, and then you'll be able to join either by clicking on this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3141627183?pwd=WXhscDBQLytBcFh1akFFRllWY0JxUT09 or by opening the client, going to Join, and then entering 314-162-7183 as the meeting ID and 584680 as the password.

Scripts: The script is available from Amazon or Kobo for £5.99. Let me know if the cost is an issue and I'll buy you a copy.

[naath]

yaaaay, good Omens. I do not need an aditional copy... I do not need... (I have it in hardback)

[sadly Linux Zoom does not do fun backdrops]

[rosefox]

If you ever do one of these at a later hour, please let me know! It sounds like so much fun.

[halojedha]

Thank you for the flexibility and the understudies! Really looking forward to this.

[juliet]

Having just been looking ahead to ep 5... Aziraphale in much of that episode is Madame Tracy/Aziraphale -- do you reckon whoever's doing Madame Tracy should do all of that, or will it work better to separate the Madame Tracy lines and Madame Tracy/Aziraphale lines?

[wildeabandon]

I was thinking they should be cast as the same person - are you happy doing both?

[juliet]

As in do both Aziraphale & Madame Tracey? Yes sure!

[sfred]

I had a super-double-plus-lovely time yesterday: thank you. <3
