Act 1, Scene 1

Not your usual Pinero play. Gilbert and Sullivan had stopped collaborating, and so Pinero - at the height of his very successful career - and a lyricist named Comyns Carr were teamed up with Sullivan to prepare this "romantic musical drama in three acts". It is sorta the Faust story with the Devil, a magic stone that enhances the appearance of its wearer, and all the peoples of a medieval village and castle. Sorry to say, we are not including Sullivan's music in this release. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Philip, Lord of Mirlemont: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tomas Peter</a> Guntran of Beaugrant: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7170" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alan Mapstone</a> Simon Limal, a Weaver: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8011" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Greg Giordano</a> Nicholas Dircks, Burgomaster of Mirlemont: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13577" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Adrian Stephens</a> A Seneschal: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17576" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Beeswaxcandle</a> A Lad of the Town: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17752" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">redrun</a> Baldwyn of Ath: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10542" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Purdy</a> The Lord of Sirault: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10801" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Locke</a> The Lord of St. Sauveur: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11927" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lorda</a> The Lord of Velaines: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17662" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inkell</a> The Devil: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ToddHW</a> Laine, the weaver's daughter: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13140" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jenn Broda</a> Joan, the weaver's wife: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18315" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kendra</a> Jacqueline: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10179" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sonia</a> Loyse, from St. Denis: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18140" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">valroth</a> Isabeau, from Florennes: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17662" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inkell</a> Barbe, from Bovigny: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18543" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Agnes Robert Behr</a> A Shrewish Girl: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11084" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Devorah Allen</a> A Matron: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16209" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christine Rottger</a> Saida: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16764" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dc</a> Competitor's Friends: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18628" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Addison Cooper</a> Stage Directions: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Larry Wilson</a> Editing: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ToddHW</a>
