Understand the difference between plot and story. The narrative of your play is made up of the plot and the story — two discrete elements that must be developed together to create a play that holds your audience’s attention. E.M. Forster defined story as what happens in the play — the chronological unfolding of events. Plot, on the other hand, can be thought of as the logic that links the events that unfold through the plot and make them emotionally powerful.![30 Reasons Not To Be In A Play Script Pdf 30 Reasons Not To Be In A Play Script Pdf](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMqoTyjW0AAl77A.jpg)

[5] An example of the difference is:- Story: The protagonist’s girlfriend broke up with him. Then the protagonist lost his job.
- Plot: The protagonist’s girlfriend broke up with him. Heartbroken, he had an emotional breakdown at work that resulted in his firing.
- You must develop a story that’s compelling and moves the action of the play along quickly enough to keep the audience’s attention. At the same time, you must show how the actions are all causally linked through your plot development. This is how you make the audience care about the events that are transpiring on stage.
