  10. Part 2 - Types of Plays • Stage Play – acted out on a stage in front of a live audience. • Radio Play – uses dialog only. The audience only hears the action. • Teleplay – a play made for television.

  11. The Radio Play • The action in a Radio play takes place solely through dialog. There are no sets in a radio play. The inflection of the actor’s voice is used to move the action along.

  12. The Play vs. the Novel • A play has a different structure from a novel. In a novel, the author can describe what the characters are thinking. In a play, the character must tell the audience what he is thinking.

  14. Part 3 – Play Essentials – The Setting • Characters can travel to many different places in a novel. Places may be described so that the reader can imagine them clearly. However, a playwright won't spend much time describing the setting.

  15. Play Essentials – The Setting • The audience will be able to see it! The playwright's characters won't do a lot of traveling; the story will be acted out in one place (the stage), and while sets can be changed,

  16. Play Essentials – The Setting • it's best not to have too many sets planned for a play in order to save time and money.

  17. Play Essentials - Character Portrayals • Finally, since an audience can't hear thinking, characters must speak their thoughts aloud. • Therefore, a playwright's focus is on writing down what each character says, thinks and does.

  18. Play Essentials - Speech in a Play • Speech is the most important aspect of a play. The playwright uses different types of speech to convey his message through the actor.
