ACT I

SCENE ONE: (Setting)

Stage directions are usually given in italics. Some writers put

them in UPPER CASE ITALICS. OTHERS JUST PUT THEM IN UPPER CASE.
The main idea is to differentiate them clearly from the
dialogue.

CHARACTER 1
Dialogue is written in sentence case. Character names are given in
upper case – again to differentiate them clearly from the spoken
dialogue.

CHARACTER 2
Dialogue is usually double-spaced between each character’s speech, but
single-spaced within a character’s speech. This again makes it easier
for the actors to differentiate between characters.

Pause.

CHARACTER 2
If you need to write in a pause, it should go in italics or UPPER
CASE, the same as other stage directions.

CHARACTER 1
(to herself) Brief stage directions that specifically apply to one
character can be put in the dialogue like this.

Scene 2:(Setting)

It’s a good idea to keep stage directions to a minimum. Directors and

actors need the space to put their own interpretations on what you
have written. So forget about directions like ‘she picks up a glass of
wine’ or ‘he smiles sadly’ unless it is integral to the action of the
play. They just annoy the director.

CHARACTER 3
Don’t forget to paginate your script. It’s also a good idea to put the
name of the script on each page as part of the header – in slightly
smaller print than the dialogue.

CHARACTER 3

 Title of the play | Section

Leave a decent margin. And ofcourse only use one side of short paper.

CHARACTER 1
Proofread your finished script carefully AFTER you print it out and
BEFORE you submit it to me. Check spellings, punctuation, line
spacings etc. Your play doesn’t have to be grammatically correct (this
is case to case basis) – and you might choose not to use standard
punctuation – but it DOES need to be consistent. Poor proofreading
suggests a lack of preparation.

CHARACTER 2
When you submit your group’s play script to me on/ or before the
deadline, don’t staple it or bind it. Use a simple bulldog clip that
can be easily removed on a folder.
