The prompt (sometimes prompter) in a theatre is traditionally the person who prompts or cues actors when they forget their lines or neglect to move on the stage to where they are supposed to be situated.〔Dennis Kennedy, Ed. (2010) ''The Oxford Companion to Theatre and Performance'', Oxford University Press, ISBN 978-0-19-957419-3〕 Nowadays, many of the earlier duties of the prompter are undertaken by the stage manager, who will have a copy of the script called the prompt book.〔 This is the most definitive version of the script for any one performance, and will contain details of all cues, with their precise timings with respect to the action on stage. 〔Phyllis Hartnoll and Peter Found, Ed. (1996), ''The Concise Oxford Companion to the Theatre'', Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-282574-7〕 This allows the prompt to direct lighting, sound, flying effects and scene changes during a show. The prompt book also often contains blocking notes, so that the prompt is always aware of the intended positions and movements of all the actors on stage at any given time. In some professional and high-quality community theatre productions, the prompt is never used during a performance to instruct actors if they forget a line or movement, only during a rehearsal. If prompting is absolutely necessary, it is done very quietly by another actor on-stage. The prompt is located on the stage, in the prompt corner or "prompt side."〔 In Elizabethan theatre the function of prompting was filled by the Book-Holder, who was also in charge of props and calls. 〔 ==References== af:Souffleur ca:Apuntador (teatre) cs:Suflér da:Sufflør de:Souffleur eo:Sufloro fr:Souffleur (théâtre) he:לחשן lb:Pësperkëscht lt:Sufleris nl:Souffleur ja:プロンプター (舞台芸術) no:Sufflør pl:Sufler ru:Суфлёр sv:Sufflör 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prompt (theatre)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
