Answer 3

A playwright might forego exposition in a play to highlight the action of the play and to avoid unnecessary information that could slow down the pacing of the story. By focusing on the immediate action and dialogue, the playwright can create a more engaging and dynamic experience for the audience. Additionally, by leaving out exposition, the playwright can allow the audience to piece together the background information themselves, creating a more interactive and thought-provoking experience.
