how do stage directions appear in a script

Stage directions in a script typically appear in italics or brackets. They are used to provide instructions to the actors, directors, and crew members about the placement of characters, movements, actions, and technical cues during a performance. For example:

[Enter stage left]
(Motions to sit down)
[Exits stage right]

Stage directions are usually placed in the middle of the dialogue or scene description to indicate when and how a particular action should be executed. They are important as they help to ensure that everyone involved in a production is on the same page and understands how to bring the script to life on stage.
