Story theatre
Characters stand back and comment on the action as well as take part in it
Lightning and sound are important 
Highly episodic - action takes place in a variety of places
The audience is often remembered that they are witnessing a theatre production rather than real life
Little set is used and few props to save time 
The audience is expected to use their imagination  
Acting is physical - action conveys a sense of place, atmosphere, time, event
