There are two aspects to this play that really makes this play stand out. First the lighting thought out the play bring out the things that need to audience's attention. One example is the fire escape that is constantly lit up. This play is all about ESCAPE, for Tom that means leaving the house, for Amanda that means having her children taken care of and for Laura that means playing with her glass. However this point is bought out when the fire escape is being lit up.
The reader (an actual audience would have issues seeing things) can use the stage directions to also show the characters emotions. For example the last scene with Laura and Jim is easily explained when the stage directions show how Laura felt (becoming less shy and more open to Jim).
