I have a crude one here, but a really good one would have: * Appropriate act and scene numbers in the headlines. * Give stage directions narrower margins than dialogue. (Yes, this is what they do in the producer's copy of the script.) * (Bonus) Line numbers in the margins. It might have other stuff as well, but I don't know enough about typesetting plays to know what else is needed. Please e-mail. I will post what appears to be the best format after the dust clears and final exams are over. -- "Hey, man, you lookin' *good*!"
