Stagecraft

Captions available

The idea

Stagecraft is the whole physical apparatus of a performance: entrances, positions, properties, costume, concealment. The glossary has no headword. On a printed page it survives only in the stage directions, which is why unit thirteen insisted they be read.

In practice

What survives is the directions.

Where people slip

Read them as evidence.
