Stage directions are instructions in a play for technical aspects of the production like lighting, sound, costume, scenery or props and most importantly, the movement of actors onstage.

The purpose of stage directions is to describe details about where a scene takes place and how an actor must deliver his or her lines. Stage directions are usually given in brackets and they supply both the audience and the actors with enough information about the stage and what is going on on it.
