Famous For Retreating - The Missing Scene
Manage episode 239178399 series 2515650
One of the scenes that was cut from an early draft of the script has been produced as a one-off sketch, originally released for Xmas/New Year 2015 – fitting, as it was the tenth anniversary year of recording the original play. The scene was removed because it was felt to be slowing the story down to little positive effect, but it has now been fully redrafted, extended, recorded and mixed as a separate audio file.
Whether the scene is considered ‘canon’ is entirely up to the listeners to decide for themselves; it is still the opinion of the writers that it was probably correct to remove it for the sake of keeping the play from getting bogged down. Whatever the ultimate view of that however, it is set in Part 3 of the play, immediately after the scene in which Merlin teaches Aedric the ‘THUNDARA’ spell.
The scene gives Dunshelm Players debuts to the characters of Olaf the Viking, Cedric the Mad Monk, and Golgarach the Wall Monster. Note that Mellisandre, who was in another scene in FFR, is also in the Missing Scene. Here she is performed by Amy Davies, whereas in the play itself she was played by Vivienne Traill.
Olaf - Ricky Temple
Mellisandre - Amy Davies
Motley - Ross Thompson
