Ask a New Question

Use the script to answer the question.

LIZ: (suddenly) Julian! We have to turn around. I think I left the oven on at the house!
JULIAN: What! I thought you turned it off before we left.
LIZ: I thought I did, too, but I'm not sure.
JULIAN: (frustrated) We are nearly 10 miles away at this point. We can't just turn around. Can you call Michelle and see if she can use her spare key to check for us?
LIZ: Michelle is visiting her sister in Michigan this weekend, remember?
JULIAN: What about Carlos? Doesn't he have a spare key?
LIZ: (with a sigh of relief) You're right! I'm going to call him right now.
In one to two sentences, analyze how the stage directions would impact the way actors perform this scene.

The stage directions in this script would guide the actors to show Liz's sense of urgency and panic, as well as Julian's frustration and logical thinking. The physical actions of Liz calling Michelle and then Carlos would also add movement and depth to their performances.
