I can explain how the use of stage directions and stagecraft can enhance the storytelling of 'Leave Taking'.

Show transcript
The technical elements of stagecraft, like lighting, sound, and props, can enhance the play’s action. Stage directions can reveal character emotions and development (for example Enid’s identity crisis). The contrasting settings of Mai's bedsit and Enid’s flat highlight key differences between them. Lighting and music can emphasise themes of nostalgia, loss and identity.
