This cannot be Shakespeare's play you are talking about, since you are asking about a "novel". In a play, the plot is fixed, but the setting, mood and tone are flexible depending on the choices of the actors and director. These choices make sense (or not) depending on the text, but the actor has a choice of how to deliver that text. Check out, say, the film of Twelfth Night with Imogen Stubbs as Viola, and compare it to other performances. You will find that the setting, mood and tone of the performances are different, but the plot is the same. Therefore, assuming that you are actually talking about the Shakespeare play and cannot tell a play from a novel, the answer to your question is "They don't"
A theater assistant director helps cast a play, helps with directing the plays and anything else the director asks them to do. They may assist with lines, blocking and costuming as well.
Are you going for the idea of blocking? The director will usually have the actors walk through a scene, indicating where they should be on the set as the play action unfolds.
All business and crosses together constitute blocking; the director (producer in GB) blocks the play, with as much or as little fidelity to the writer's stage directions ...

There is no such thing as 'a blocking'. Blocking is a word that has two (related) meanings in performance: 1. Blocking is the movement of the actors around the stage or film set. So, for example, if the actors in a play stand in the same spot the whole play, except for a few parts where one of them walks across the stage, you might say 'the blocking was very simple'. 2. Blocking is the process of deciding what the movement of the actors around the stage or set will be. So, for example, if you walk into a film set and see the actors and director and ask them what they're doing, they might say 'We're just blocking this scene'.
Prompt as in give the other actor a hint of what is going on for the setting of the play. EX.) Romeo: Oh juliet... juliet... Director: How i love thy Romeo: How i love thy.
You cant play as the director, the director is on every server and its pure AI controlled.
Usually. For bigger shows there is usually a casting director.
the director is the one who directs the play
The director of the play was tired. He received the award for best director at the film festival.
Yes but the contact must only be incidental ( ie not part of the play) and must not affect the play. So a player touching the net while blocking, setting or attacking would be illegal. A playing brushing the net away from the play would not.
Blocking relates to the action in a play. Some directors are very specific such as 'After this line, stand and move over to the fireplace' while others will allow the actors more leeway. It can take several rehearsals before the blocking is finalised as the actors and director will try out different things during the rehearsal process. The Stage Manager or Deputy Stage Manager is responsible for recording the blocking so the actors and director remember what they did last time. This is done using one of various styles of picture notation and always in pencil so changes can be recorded. Blocking will usually be finalised before opening night, except for some types of improvised theatre. As the play is not usually rehearsed in the venue, with all the props and furniture, the stage management crew will also mark out the stage to show where things will be. Final blocking is done during the technical rehearsal, where all the lighting, sound effects and set changes will be finalised and the actors have a chance to rehearse in the venue with all the set etc in place.
