  2. The features of a play script are:
    • Present Tense
    • 3rd Person
    • Colons
    • Stage Directions
    • Speech
    • Brackets
    • Paragraphs

    What do I like about my play script?
    I like the way that the inspector randomly appears out of no-where and pulls the family up for their crimes.

    What is the purpose of the stage directions?
    The stage directions tell the actor where to go, what to do and how to say something. Without stage directions, the actor could say something sad in a happy voice!

    A summary of my play script:
    This play script is about an inspector who goes to a family in the West Midlands and tells them that they are responsible for someone committing suicide. The story goes on to tell us everything that each person did. This story has a twist in the end as well!

  7. FEATURES OF PLAY SCRIPT
    •There is a cast list
    •The text is separated into scenes
    •Character names are on the left hand side
    •After character names is a colon (:)
    •It is a script of dialogue

    •Stage directions are in brackets and usually written in italic

    What I like about my script?
    I like the story, I like the way it's written and the word's it contains.
    What is the purpose of the stage directions?
    The purpose of stage directions is twofold. First, the directions help the actors as they rehearse the play to move about on stage and behave as the playwright intended. Second, the stage directions serve as guidelines for the director to make the play appear on stage as he or she envisions it and to interpret the playwright's story as written.
    Write a summary of your play script.
    The story is about two families ( Montague and Capulet ). In one of the families is Romeo and in the other is Juliet and they fall in love. After that because of a misunderstanding they commit suicide.

  10. My play script homework.

    Features of a play script are

    -characters names written on the left
    -; and :
    -stage directions
    -no speech marks when a character is talking
    -present tense
    -title
    -newline for each speaker
    -third person

    What I like about my play script (Harry potter and the cursed child) is that it is clear to read,gives a good example of a how a play script is supposed to be like and the its realy adventurous and it has a lot of twists and turns.

    The purpose of stage directions is that it tells the actors what facial expressions and what they've got to do and where to stand without them the play would be a disaster.

    My play script is about Harry Potter when he is 30 years old and a evil wizard called Voldemort has a child which is evil and Harry Potters child have to stop Voldemort's child bringing Voldemort back to life.

    2)What I like about my playscript, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, is the it is clear to understand even though it is written in the old English language. The stage directions are also very clear.

    3)The purpose of stage directions are to tell the actors whether they need to changer their expressions or movement on stage. Without the them play would go terribly wrong.

    4)My play script is about Julius Caesar,a play written in 1599,and focuses on Brutus' struggle between conflict and friendship.

    What I like about my play script is the bit it ends with is a cliffhanger.It is by Shakespear who's books I find interesting.My play script is a TRAGEDY.

    Stage directions tell the actors what to do and how to d these actions.If there were no stage directions nothing would make sense.

    My play script is about Hamlet and Horatio talking to each other and sorrowing about Hamlet's father being dead. Hamlet is very upset as the same food was used for both ceremonies.

    Rio Ferdinand
    Frank Lampard
    Alan Shearer
    Kieran Trippier
    Jesse Lingard
    Yerry Mina

    Radamel Falcao
    Harry Maguire
    David Ospina

    (G.L + R.F + F.L + A.S are in the commentating box. G.L has a pile of paper in front of him.)

    G.L: Falcao making a run here and what a tackle by Harry Maguire!

    A.S: (excitedly) Maguire wastes no time in passing to Trippier who makes a run! Lingard is running down the middle waiting for a cross.

    R.F: Trippier attempts to cross but Arias blocks. Colombia are forced to concede with a corner. Six minutes of play and already the tension is building up!

    (Everybody in the commentating box laughs.)

    F.L: (breathlessly) Kieran Trippier steps up to take the corner. It’s a superb ball by him! Yerry Mina headers it away and it has gone straight to Lingard who takes a touch and then shoots… GOAL!!!!!!

    (Everyone in the commentating box is standing up and celebrating. Crowd goes wild.)

    G.L: You can see the quality in the young team.

    F.L: Yes. Trippier with his set-pieces, Kane with his penalties, Stones with his headers and Lingard with his shots.

    A.S: Ospina had no chance at saving that one.

    (G.L picks up the pile of paper and puts the top sheet to bottom)
