Oh, okay. That makes sense. XD Who's going to be executed?
Well, I'll see what I can do. I've translated the account quoted by Desmoulins (quoting him, strangely enough) in the "Vieux Cordelier" of his harangue of 12 July 1789; that was fairly easy to translate, because it was so short. I *can* translate Saint-Just's report on the Dantonistes, but first I want to know how much of it you would use--it's 16 pages long, you see. >.>
I figured as much, but it *is* rather amusing to be silly in character; I mean, I can be silly as myself all the time, how often do I get to do a crack!portrayal of a Revolutionary? XD
The trouble is, if I want to be able read some kind of authentic text, I can't be Éléonore--the only letter I have signed by her is to free her father and brother after they were arrested relating to Babeuf's Conspiracy of Equals post-Thermidor--and obviously she never gave any speeches.
Le Bas didn't really do much public speaking either; though while I don't know if it would work for characters for to read letters, I do have plenty of those for Le Bas (and Saint-Just--some of them are signed by both of them, from when they were on mission together).
The only speech I can find of Couthon's is on the Law of 22 Prairial, and I'm not exactly sure I want to portray him reading that, as if it were the only thing he did during the Revolution--which wouldn't really serve his image in the eyes of people who don't know anything else about him. -__-;
...I'll figure something out though, I suppose.
Also, I forgot to ask--what exactly is the timeframe on this? Obviously, it starts pretty early, in order to have 12 July 1789 in it, but does it skip to the Convention then, or are there any characters portraying important Constituents (Barnave, Mirabeau, etc.) and do any "scenes" take place under the Legislative Assembly? (The reason I need to know this is in part because it will help me know which of Danton's speeches you want, and also, which character to portray.)
