Casting &c for This House

[wildeabandon]

This was an interesting challenge to cast, and some people have what I believe is technically known as an epic fuckton of parts, so you'll need to be pretty on the ball. I think I've managed to avoid anyone talking to themselves, but no promises.

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: Copies of the script in .pdf and .mobi format can be found here. If anyone needs another format, let me know. Cleaner scripts can be bought from Amazon or Kobo, as per the previous post.

Well, uh, I made a list of me... that is indeed many parts.

[wildeabandon]

Yeah - the trouble is that nearly all the action happens in the Whips' Offices, so the actors playing the Whips are a bit limited in who they can double with. In the original casting there were eight other actors. Even with Sally playing two of the whips, I had three to work with :)

Oh, Saturday or Sunday?

[wildeabandon]

Ooh, good catch. Saturday - I've corrected the post. That's what I get for copying and pasting.

Hi - the link appears to be only the PDF version? [I'm sorting my Kobo out for atreic]

Sorry - folder link is https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14oaGVIFDEzemRaA5P_RWyei4zd96pcCh?usp=sharing

Is mobi okay for a Kobo, or do you want me to make an epub version?

Re: Script link

[emperor]

Mobi should be fine, thanks (the PDF isn't bad as it happens), although epub are more natural for Kobo.
