Question

Read the play and choose the correct words to complete the sentences.

Act 1: Directions

Punctuation marks and symbols are seated in a semi-circle in a room. They all look worried.

Comma: [As it starts speaking, it raises its head slowly] Maybe I could do the job, but you know, I am a single symbol. I am always by myself, and I don’t think this is going to work!

All marks and symbols: [Speaking at the same time]: It’s not going to work.

Period: [full of hope] I maybe can… but I usually represent the end of something. I don’t think it’s going to work.

All marks and symbols: [Speaking at the same time] It’s not going to work!

Suddenly, the spotlight is on the Brackets and Parentheses. They both look at each other and start moving their heads from left to right, in denial.

Brackets and Parentheses: [At the same time, sounding angry and worried] Oh no, no, no, we are sorry, but we can't do it. It's a lot of work, and there are only four of us.

Comma: [With a kind expression] Oh, come on! You can do it. You would be the stars of the play! You don't need to all be there at the same time. We only need a pair, either Parentheses or Brackets. That's all. You like to give orders and guide people! This is your dream job.

Period: Yes! And as silent directors, you don't even have to be on the stage! You only appear in the script. Please help us!

The rest of the punctuation marks and symbols, except for Parentheses and Brackets: [all speaking at once] Please, please, please, please! [While surrounding Parentheses and Brackets.]

Brackets and Parentheses: [A voice comes from the middle of the circle. It sounds terrified] Ok, just give us some space. We’ll take charge of the stage directions. We’ll help the actors know how to move or what emotion to show. [with an annoyed expression] And yes, we will also describe the setting of the play.
