I'm almost certainly going to play Guido, because it's an Oscar Wilde play, and the rules are that that means I get to play the lead ;)

I think I'm happy with any non-woman part. Thank you!

I don't know it (I'm sure it's great), so I'll do anything.

I would like to play friend Ascanio, please. But also basically any other part that works for the casting. I have a mild anti-preference for Beatrice.

I'd love to if it's not too late. Any part is fine. Apologies if you've said elsewhere, but what time will it be?

Apart from no women, I have no preferences, and I don't mind a tiny part!

Not too late - I generally do the casting on Fridays :) The readthrough starts at 14:30.
