Play Reading Party

Sometimes you just want to read a play with your friends and use silly accents, but it can be challenging to figure out who all the characters are and which of you should be Lord Darlington and who should be the The Duchess of Berwick. On top of that, if there are only a few of you and many characters, it can be hard to remember if you are also Messenger 1 who has just entered the scene. Play Reading Party is the solution to that problem, allowing you to read plays with your friends and see exactly which characters you are as you read along.
