I'm almost done reading Act One, so please no spoilers. I have read only a few play scripts and am more familiar with screenplays. What are the narrated segments that give character backstories and Salem history? Are they like character and world building sheets in writing? Does someone read them on stage, or is it just behind-the-scenes info for the cast and crew? I'm trying to understand its function and if it's part of the acting (like a speaking narrator).
Sometimes these segments mention something that will happen later on. I don't know if that's meant to inform the crew or create suspense for the audience.
