What happened to the fun of reading plays?  You the reader are the director, producer, actor, and special effects wizard.  A play is not read by you; it is staged.  It is the ultimate forgiving dress rehearsal:  you do get to go back and get the lines right as soon as you realize where the scene is going or what hidden motivations made a particular character say this and not that at the crucial moment.  The stage manager is magical and can bring about anything you imagine.  No boring prosy rambles (be skeptical of overly controlling stage descriptions by playwrights), no death march through chapter after chapter of sequential plot development.  Drama must be fast, efficient, breathtaking, heart-stopping (I almost wrote "heart-stomping"), pow!
