Detailed explanation-2: -Actors are not off-book for a staged reading, and some (or all) of the stage directions are read aloud-one reason these performances are compared to audiobooks or radio plays.
Detailed explanation-3: -A table read (also known as a read-through) is an organized reading of a script in which the speaking parts, stage directions, and scene headings are read out loud.

Detailed explanation-5: -They provide details about how the playwright has imagined the environment and atmosphere. They describe critical physical aspects of the characters and settings. Stage directions can also be critical in dictating the intended tempo and rhythm of the piece.
