For example, there is no detailed description of the character's thoughts and feelings. The narrator comes in to supply the necessary information so that the audience will be guided and gaps in the meanings and intentions are filled. 

D. Through his use of screens, lighting, and music, the playwright builds suspense in the action. Since the play is performed on stage live, there is no "take two's" and editing.
