Q1
Read the drama excerpt.
Setting: A small kitchen at dusk. A clock ticks loudly. A pot on the stove gives off a warm, onion smell.
RINA: (staring at the table) You moved it.
CALEB: (sets down a backpack; avoids eye contact) I didn’t “move it.” I put it somewhere safer.
RINA: Safer for who?
The clock seems louder during the pause. Caleb’s fingers drum the counter: tap-tap-tap.
CALEB: (quietly) For you.
RINA: (laughs once, sharp and short) Wow. Thanks.
CALEB: Don’t do that.
RINA: Do what? Say what I mean?
Caleb finally looks up. His face is tight, like he is holding back words.
Question: How would listening to an audio performance of this drama differ from reading it?
