You are correct, Smokeynova.
You know what this means? ... Wait for it... ... It's coming ... Any second now... ... ... ... "Return to the topic immediately".
Did you guess I was gonna say that?
What up? I say "indeed" a lot.

Me too. Except people never understand our group's. What's not to understand about Smokeynova blowing up SmithInc, then killing some people who try to overthrow him?

Well, it's how you portray it. To be a good actor or writer (for play scripts) you really need to be able to communicate properly and effectively.

Let's do the rundown: I deliver a monologue, clearly without interruption; JammyDodgerz shows the audience a newspaper with a clear headline; An argument involving joining an army; a seen with the army stood to attention; followed by a clear-cut plot to overthrow, which failed and resulted in death. How clear? I actually said, and I quote this, "we need to get rid of him."

Yeah, to be honest, I can kind of see why they MIGHT not get it. Also, like I said, it's not about the script. Well, I guess it sort of is. You need to treat the audience as if they don't have a clue what's going on- because, let's face it, they don't. Make sure that the audience clearly and fully understands who each of the characters are right from the start. Also, it's useful to practically SAY what's just happened. I know it sounds stupid, but it work- example:
The wind sweeps my watch out of my hand.
To the audience, it would just look like I just threw the watch away, no matter how well I act it- especially if the audience aren't expecting it to happen. But, if one, of obvious line is added into the script, everything will be much, much clearer:
The wind sweeps my watch out of my hand.
ME: Stupid wind! It just blew my watch away!
See? (I know, you wouldn't put the words "Me" and "My" in stage directions, but the sake of today, I'm going to).
Also, make sure all lines are spoken clearly and loudly. You might think you're doing it OK, but a lot of the time, your mind exaggerates things you do. You need to exaggerate things in REAL LIFE!
NOTE: I DO NOT MEAN TO CRITICISE YOUR HARD WORK IN ANY WAY!
This is not all the advice I have for you, it's just that these are often the most common mistakes to make. Everyone does these, it's just that without constructive feedback, you cannot have a chance of improving your work (yes, I know I haven't watched anything, but still!)
