ixwin, vectorious, mirabehn, evil_nick, gnimmel, purplepiano, andrewwyld, spindlemere, fluffymark and neonchameleon!
here is my first attempt at casting. (most of it copied from very cunning suggestions by Liz.)
if anyone wants to change any part please let me know!
also if anyone finds they're speaking to themselves at any point please also let me know. i'm not feeling 100% in the brain department at present so might have missed something.
i have this as an excel spreadsheet which i will email to everyone. it's easier to see which characters appear when etc.
ixwin: Woman, Witch, Piglet, Guard/Sentry #1, Crone, Brother Maynard
vectorious: Customer, Black Knight, Other French Guard, Middle Head, Roger The Shrubber
mirabehn: Dennis, Sir Galahad, Historian's Wife, Minstrel, Second Brother
evil_nick: Arthur, Knight (who kills the Historian), Concorde
gnimmel: Green Knight, Sir Bedevere, Winston, Guard/Sentry #2
purplepiano: Lead Monk (who sings), Left Head, Tim The Enchanter, Father, Guest #2, Officer #2
andrewwyld: Cart Master, Sir Launcelot, French Guard, Cameraman
spindlemere: Soldier #1, Villager #1, God, Right Head, Old Man/Bridgekeeper, Head Knight Of Ni, Officer #1
fluffymark: Dead Person, Villager #4, Sir Robin, Prince Herbert, Animator
neonchameleon: Soldier #2, Villager #2, Narrator, Guest #1, Inspector
kmazzy: Villager #3, Historian, Zoot/Dingo, Bride's Father
does anyone have any coconuts?
there are some scenes i want to cut out but i'll let everyone know nearer the time or maybe on the day. (mainly scenes with animation or some singing - the Launcelot/guests scene is pretty messy.)
ELLY - you are obviously happy to sing the Brave Sir Robin song.
EVERYONE ELSE - would you like to sing the Camelot song?
a reminder of the most helpful website:

- Probably need to let people know before the day what's going to be cut. I agree we can ignore the animations entirely (well except for the purple beastie...Hmmm - maybe Eliott can play that role...?)
- If we do have the Camelot song would
- Could people print off their own copies of the scripts if at all possible - I'll be able to do a few if necessary but our printer wouldn't thank me for 11 copies.
- Coconuts! I'll try to get one set but yes if anyone else can, please bring.
- I think I'll get a couple of cheapo plastic swords too, so that we can (briefly) act out various scenes (esp. the black & green knight)
On another topic, there's a Christmas tree festival at the church in the next road that weekend that we usually go to (just lots of decorated trees by e.g. Brownies, and local charities and shops and individuals) and so I was wondering if the party would be interested in wandering down to see that in between the end of the readthrough and the meal.
I thought if we try to kick off the readthrough around 3pm, and then plan to start eating around 6 or 6:30? Will that suit everyone? Is anyone in need of additional directions/transport help of any sort?
That's all I can think of for now.

Patsy
Voice (Could easily be classed as the narrator), Director (also from killing historian scene)
Cartoon Character, Sun
All supporting Castle Anthrax members (other than Zoot, Dingo and Piglet)- and which version of that scene do we want?

Replying to this and Liz's comment...
Oh, that is wonderful!!!! :D
I obviously want the fullest version of the Castle Anthrax scene so that I have everyone demanding to be spanked by me. *evilness*
Also can I make a request that the animated bit that announces them having to eat Robin's Minstrel stays in?
Will print out a copy as long as my printer/print driver hasn't died by then...
Am happy to sing as much as possible, provided my voice has come back!
Will try to bring a coconut, plus possibly plastic swords (and a crown for Nick).
Should we try to have little choral music effects where required? I wonder if Chris, Lynnette, Andrew, Nick and myself could work out a wee chord progression or something?
Yay! to the Christmas tree festival at Holy Saviour. I'll have to find out if FoR/Christian CND did one this year!
Oh, and another thing - in addition to Nick and myself, my parents are happy to put up Kathryn and perhaps one other guest. Let me know, anyone, if this would be helpful. (My parents live in Hitchin, about 5-10 minutes walk from Liz and Matt's house, for those who don't know.)
Talking of, Kathryn please remember to take your allergy pills, and I'll try to remember to ensure that Caspian and Miranda are kept out of wherever you'll be sleeping. :)
Love and hugs to all,
Elly

There are quite a lot of Castle Anthrax characters, thinking about it.
And Patsy could be in charge of Arthur's coconuts, of course. :)

But I'm sure lots of other people do too and I do seem to have ended up with a startling selection of plum parts...

Bedford- Hitchin busses. (Suggestion: 181 at 1:30 getting to Hitchin at 2:30). According to the railtrack website, you can't reach Hitchin from less than Bedford in fewer than two changes, and the shortest trip takes an hour and a half.
Now, I don't have a clue what to do from the bus station...

Not sure about anything else - will let you know.

You'll most likely come in on Bancroft or Hermitage Road - if you do get lost, ring, or ask for directions to the station as, unless you're very lost that'll take you past the end of our road (one end or the other).
