Typically, in a play script, dialogue is written on separate lines, with the character's name followed by a colon before their lines of speech. Stage directions, on the other hand, are usually written in all caps and describe the physical actions, movements, or expressions of the characters. Additionally, stage directions are often enclosed in parentheses to differentiate them from the dialogue. This formatting helps the reader easily distinguish between the spoken words of the characters and the instructions for their movements or actions.
