Stageplay Vs Screenplay

Stage plays are written to be performed on a stage with a script, actors, and commitment, while screenplays are scripts for films that rely on images and may change during filming. Screenplays are usually shorter at 80-120 pages, use less dialogue, have no stage directions, and are influenced by cameras, while stage plays favor more dialogue, fewer actors, and a live audience experience.
