When does a script become a play?

Question

When does a script become a play?

Answer 1

1. Playwright develops script

2. Producer 'picks up script' - i.e. agrees to produce it for the stage

3. Actors and director rehearse script, which is now referred to as a play



Script - a text written for actors to perform on a stage



Play - a presentation that includes actors, lights, costumes, put before an audience and typically based on a script



A script needs to be developed into a play, but a play can exist without a script.

Answer 2

if you are writing a play...the script will always be the play. There isn't a point where one becomes something else.

Answer 3

When it gets produced.

Answer 4

When you perform it.
