Type the author's name followed by act number in parenthesis after your quote. Put a period, the scene number, and another period and add the line number from the scene. For example, "And I take the sardines. No, I leave the sardines. No I take the sardines" (Frayn 1.1.15).
Put your punctuation for the whole sentence after the citation parenthesis. For example, "It's no good you going on. I can't open sardines and answer the phone" (Frayn 1.1.39-40).
Indent your quote 1 inch from the left if dialogue appears between two characters or the quote is longer than three lines. Write the name of the character in all capital letters, followed by a period.
Type a new character's name with a new line in your text. Use stage directions exactly as they appear in your text between lines of dialogue.
