Okay, so I got an idea: there are a fair few of us on the forum who like plays and stuff, well why not have some Skype calls in which we do readings of plays? Sounds like it could be fun.

Granted, I have a cold, a headache, and boredom, so my judgment may be impaired.

I'd be totally on board with this if I didn't lack

a) Skype b) Acting talent c) Time

Good idea though. Hopefully something comes of it (:

I'd LOVE to take part, but that's mostly because I'm desperate for any form of social interaction. Will we do musicals?

Not unless we have a very good pianist and somehow everyone's able to get access to the score, not to mention the difficulties of managing to get all that coordinated over a group Skype call. So probably no - just some straight plays that can be easily found online due to being in the public domain.

At present I'm thinking of GK Chesterton's Magic. Cast of characters is as follows:

• The Duke
• Doctor Grimthorpe
• The Rev. Cyril Smith
• Morris Carleon
• Hastings, The Duke's secretary
• The Stranger
• Patricia Carleon

If I had Skype I would join you...

This is unfortunate...

If I had Skype I'd be a pianist/singer for you guys. Otherwise, I'm somewhat lacking in acting talent so no

If I can find time, and my parents don't find out, I would love to.

However, It would need to be a PG-13 or less rated play. I refuse to say anything worse than f***, or describe in explicit detail a [CENSORED].

I don't have Skype but I could get it with minimal effort. Is Magic online? It probably is if it's in the PD. I have a LOT of plays but no Chesterton.

Would love to join. And I have the Skype and some acting skills.
