what is their relationship?Show answer
What is happening and what just happened? Where and when is it set, and how does that pressure the characters? Why is each character there and what do they want?
What are reading for the given circumstances?Show answer
The given circumstances are everything the script tells you about the world of the play: who the characters are, where and when the action happens, what relationships exist, what has just happened and what each character wants. A performer builds these by reading dialogue, stage directions and the implications between the lines. The fuller and more specific the circumstances, the more believable and detailed the performance becomes, because the actor knows exactly what they are responding to.
