Makeup of a Screenplay

A Screenplay conceptually refers to a complete execution screenplay-based logic, written using this framework. As .NET code, Screenplay is a class which coordinates the scope & execution of that logic.

A Screenplay is comprised at least one Performance, typically lots of them. A Performance is made from Actors performing Performables, of which there are Tasks, Actions and Questions. The logic of Actions and/or Questions almost always requires the use of an Ability. The diagram below shows the architecture of how these concepts relate to one another.
