When reading a play why is it important to use the stage directions?

You need to read the stage directions as well as the lines because it helps you visualize the play. While reading a play, you must visualize what is happening on the stage, so it helps to know when certain characters enter the scene, and where, how they interact with props and so on. Although certain anal-retentive authors make their stage directions very complete, sometimes including matters which do not appear on stage (such as what is happening in the characters' minds), even in these extreme cases, the directions cannot tell you everything. You need to use your imagination. Indeed, the more stage complete the stage directions are, the more a good director will ignore them, as the author's ideas about what will work often do not apply to the cast or space the director has in mind or is obliged to use.
