Reading Plays for Practice

The idea
Read a scene aloud, or hear it. A play's meaning sits in delivery and in who is present, and silent reading loses both. Where that is impractical, at least track entrances and exits in the margin, which is where the irony lives.
In practice
Read aloud, or track the stage.
Where people slip
Silent reading loses the delivery.
