People read plays for work, study or pleasure. But the script of play is not written to be read in private, or to be approached as if it were a novel. The playwright intends his words to be performed and spoken. His dialogue conveys explicit and implicit information, and all the other elements he notes (such as sound effects, scenery and music) contribute to the dramatic effect. The reader of a play who takes advantage of all this information is virtually staging a performance in his imagination. Paperback Ed 1991
