Question

Read the following scene from the inheritors. Fred jordan's cell. Slowly, at the end left unchalked, as for a door, she goes in. Her hand goes up as against a wall; looks at her other hand, sees it is out too far, brings it in, giving herself the width of the cell. Walks its length, halts, looks up. ) and one window—too high up to see out. (in the moment she stands there, she is in that cell; she is all the people who are in those cells. Emil johnson [who works at the courthouse], appears from outside. ) madeline: (stepping out of the cell door, and around it) hello, emil. Emil: how are you, madeline? how do, mr morton. (ira barely nods and does not turn. Emil turns back to madeline) well, i'm just from the courthouse. Looks like you and i might take a ride together, madeline. You come before the commissioner at four. A possible disadvantage to watching this scene, as opposed to reading it silently, is that viewers are required to conceptualize the setting of the jailhouse. Required to interpret movements in absence of stage directions. Required to imagine the appearance of the characters. Required to visualize the props used within the scene

Answer 1

One of the disadvantages of watching the scene rather than reading it is the difficulty in interpreting the movements in the absence of stage directions.

What are stage directions?

• They are instructions.
• Show how actors must express their characters through movements and behaviors.
• They show how the scenario should be set.

The stage directions shown in the text above show how actors should move through stage directions. This is shown in detail and specifies that it can be missed if the scene is watched and not read.
