Stage Directions and Monsters are Due

How do I find Stage Directions (Pick Three)

What do stage directions develop?

Steve. Well, I guess what we’d better do then

is to run a check on the neighborhood and see

which ones of us are really human.

(There is laughter at this, but it’s a laughter that

comes from a desperate attempt to lighten the atmosphere. The people look at one another

in the middle of their laughter.)

What do the stage directs show about the people on Maple Street?

(Fade in on Maple Street at night. On the side-

walk, little knots of people stand around talking in

low voices. At the end of each conversation they look

toward Les Goodman’s house. From the various

houses, we can see candlelight but no electricity.)

What do the stage directions help develop?

Les. What is this, a gag? (He looks around the

group again.) This a practical joke or something?

(Suddenly the car engine starts all by itself, runs

for a moment, and stops. One woman begins to

cry. The eyes of the crowd are cold and accusing.)

What do the stage above stage directions help develop?
