Lesson 22-1

By heart

/baɪ/ /hɑːt/

Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end.

/sʌm/ /pleɪz/ /ɑː/ /səʊ/ /səkˈsɛsfʊl/ /ðæt/ /ðeɪ/ /rʌn/ /fɔː/ /jɪəz/ /ɒn/ /ɛnd./

In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are

/ɪn/ /ˈmɛni/ /weɪz,/ /ðɪs/ /ɪz/ /ʌnˈfɔːʧnɪt/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /pʊər/ /ˈæktəz/ /huː/ /ɑː/

required to go on repeating the same lines night after night.

/rɪˈkwaɪəd/ /tuː/ /gəʊ/ /ɒn/ /rɪˈpiːtɪŋ/ /ðə/ /seɪm/ /laɪnz/ /naɪt/ /ˈɑːftə/ /naɪt./

One would expect them to know their parts by heart and

/wʌn/ /wʊd/ /ɪksˈpɛkt/ /ðɛm/ /tuː/ /nəʊ/ /ðeə/ /pɑːts/ /baɪ/ /hɑːt/ /ænd/ /

never have cause to falter. Yet this is not always the case.

/ˈnɛvə/ /hæv/ /kɔːz/ /tuː/ /ˈfɔːltə./ /jɛt/ /ðɪs/ /ɪz/ /nɒt/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /ðə/ /keɪs./

A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in

/ə/ /ˈfeɪməs/ /ˈæktər/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /ˈhaɪli/ /səkˈsɛsfʊl/ /pleɪ/ /wɒz/ /wʌns/ /kɑːst/ /ɪn/

the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the

/ðə/ /rəʊl/ /ɒv/ /ən/ /ˈærɪstəkræt/ /huː/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /ɪmˈprɪznd/ /ɪn/ /ðiː/

Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler would

/bæsˈtiːl/ /fɔː/ /ˈtwɛnti/ /jɪəz./ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /lɑːst/ /ækt,/ /ə/ /ˈʤeɪlə/ /wʊd/

always come on to the stage with a letter which he would

/ˈɔːlweɪz/ /kʌm/ /ɒn/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /steɪʤ/ /wɪð/ /ə/ /ˈlɛtə/ /wɪʧ/ /hiː/ /wʊd/

hand to the prisoner. Even though the noble was expected to

/hænd/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈprɪznə./ /ˈiːvən/ /ðəʊ/ /ðə/ /ˈnəʊbl/ /wɒz/ /ɪksˈpɛktɪd/ /tuː/

read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that

/riːd/ /ðə/ /ˈlɛtər/ /æt/ /iːʧ/ /pəˈfɔːməns,/ /hiː/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /ɪnˈsɪstɪd/ /ðæt/

it should be written out in full.

/ɪt/ /ʃʊd/ /biː/ /ˈrɪtn/ /aʊt/ /ɪn/ /fʊl./
