Questions
Who can see my plays?

No. BreakALeg runs in your browser. Your cast just needs the invite code and a link.
Can I write in another language?
Yes. Scripts can be written in any language, including ΰ€Ήΰ€Ώΰ€¨ΰ₯ΰ€¦ΰ₯. The PDF export renders it correctly.
What formatting do I need to learn?
Almost none. Write in plain text and use three simple marks: @ to mention a character, [brackets] for stage directions, and LX: / SFX: for cues.
