the elements/things that needed for a play

  1. actor/actress
  2. the text
  3. props
  4. costumes
  5. the stage
  6. the director

Those are the elements that needed to start a play. The first thing is the actor or the actress. If there is the texts but have no one to act, it is useless. The text will never contribute to a play. However, if there is the actor/actress without any text, it is also useless. Easy to say, they need each other.

Props, is also important to a play. Props include the background, stage setting, lighting, and audio. Without props, the play will be incomplete. Can you imagine how bored it is if the plays are done without any background, lighting and any audio that usually used to completed the plays?

Costumes are also important in a play. The costumes that used by the actor/actress seem to help the audience to get the idea of the background of the plays. As an example, if the play is about 18th century, the costumes they’ve use will help the audience to get the picture of the era. Instead, the costumes also may help the actor/actress to play their role efficiently.

The plays usually performed on the stage. The space of the stage is very important. The plays that use a lot of scene will use bigger space and more setup.

Lastly, how a play will be done if there is no director? The director is very important to conduct the plays.

I think there are a lot more things that needed to start a play, but I just can’t think about it anymore. He…..
