I've been wanting to buy more plays to read and one of them was Marys Seacole by Jackie Sibblies Drury. Usually I try to find a production to watch first, but I've liked Drury's work enough that I feel like reading it would still be a good experience. The thing is, under Dramatists Play Service, it lists it as a manuscript and not an acting script. Not only does a manuscript cost more, but I also don't know what to expect out of a manuscript. I'm assuming it's more like the picture of the example booklet, of it being more or less a stack of papers, right? Or is it worth more to wait a bit to see if it will get published as the acting script (assuming it will) for cheaper? I like the acting scripts better too, just I'm not sure if that's a guarantee or not.
Edit: Also, to add onto the title, are there any more difference between manuscripts and acting scripts besides the cover? I've read acting scripts also include more stuff like props, set drawings, etc. Anything else?
