What feeling(s) do you want the audience to experience during the scene? What do you want the audience to go away thinking about? How many characters? What is their relationship to each other? Where is this scene taking place? What is the secret? (The actors need to know this in order to play the scene. It does not change the text itself just the way they say the text.)
