Hooray for Bronte!

Two new Bronte novels and a few other projects are now available to download on librivox!

Anne, Emily, and Charlotte Bronte. Their brother, Branwell, painted himself
out of the picture, accounting for that awkward pole.

Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte


and 

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Charlotte Bronte



But wait! There's more! "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" are on their way! These are by far the most popular works of the Bronte sisters. I have minor roles in each. My dad got a small but really cool part in Jane Eyre. He's the guy that stops Jane's wedding to announce that the groom, Mr. Rochester, is already married to a mad woman in the attic. *gasp!* 

Speaking of Jane Eyre, we are missing a Mr. Rochester! Are you a wannabe actor who loves literature? Join librivox! Mr. Rochester is one of the most popular heroes of Victorian literature and a really great catch of a part. 

Where's Mr. Rochester?



And a few other newly completed projects:

The Brown Fairy Book by Andrew Lang. Part of a series of popular children's fables. I read "The Lion and the Cat". Kind of a strange story...

The Duchess of Padua by Oscar Wilde. I have a couple lines in here somewhere...

Shakespearean Dialogues II I play Hero this time in my favorite Shakespeare comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing". Beatrice would have been my first choice. Maybe next time!

Tartuffe  by Moliere. Your typical hilarious Moliere commedia dell'arte. I play the police officer that busts the bad guy!
