Question:Does it have a format like screenplays?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Does it have a format like screenplays?

well this is just off the top of my head..
but you usually start with just a dramatis personnae (in other words, listing all of the characters)
most plays are set out in acts, but it's not essential.
The play usually starts with a description of how you envision the set. (this is written in italics or something so it's not confused with lines)
then it follows a regular dialogue. Like this =

Halie : What did you say?
Dodge : Nothing.

You put stage or acting instructions in brackets.

hope this helps. I'd go look at a play - it's fairly simple

No, plays don't have the same format. You'll have to get your hands on a play to see the formatting. It's different and also simpler than screenwriting format.
