IDEA International Dialects of English ArchivePlay Names & Terms
The sound-files available here feature native speakers pronouncing the place names, people names, and idioms from well-known plays that are frequently produced in the theatre. Often the speaker has interesting commentary on these words and terms.
(If you are a theatre director or dialect coach, and have engaged a native speaker to record the names, idioms, or other terms used in the play you are working on, please consider contributing that recording and accompanying text file to IDEA for us to add to this list for the benefit of future productions of that play.)
