Beauty Stone

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:Tomas Peter [https://librivox.org/reader/10789] Guntran of Beaugrant:Alan Mapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Simon Limal, a Weaver:Greg Giordano [https://librivox.org/reader/8011] Nicholas Dircks, Burgomaster of Mirlemont:Adrian Stephens [https://librivox.org/reader/13577] A Seneschal:Beeswaxcandle [https://librivox.org/reader/17576] A Lad of the Town:redrun [https://librivox.org/reader/17752] Baldwyn of Ath:David Purdy [https://librivox.org/reader/10542] The Lord of Sirault:Jim Locke [https://librivox.org/reader/10801] The Lord of St. Sauveur:lorda [https://librivox.org/reader/11927] The Lord of Velaines:Inkell [https://librivox.org/reader/17662] The Devil:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Laine, the weaver's daughter:Jenn Broda [https://librivox.org/reader/13140] Joan, the weaver's wife:Kendra [https://librivox.org/reader/18315] Jacqueline:Sonia [https://librivox.org/reader/10179] Loyse, from St. Denis:valroth [https://librivox.org/reader/18140] Isabeau, from Florennes:Inkell [https://librivox.org/reader/17662] Barbe, from Bovigny:Agnes Robert Behr [https://librivox.org/reader/18543] A Shrewish Girl:Devorah Allen [https://librivox.org/reader/11084] A Matron:Christine Rottger [https://librivox.org/reader/16209] Saida:dc [https://librivox.org/reader/16764] Competitor's Friends:Addison Cooper [https://librivox.org/reader/18628] Stage Directions:Larry Wilson [https://librivox.org/reader/8425] Editing:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754]
