Anaside is a short line delivered to the audience during a scene. By convention, the other characters onstage cannot hear or react to this statement as the character is revealing his personal thoughts to the audience. The character makes a short comment about the action of the scene yet remaining removed from the action, to help clarify the action or include the audience.
It is similar to a soliloquy in its intention, yet can be distinguished by its length and positioning into the script within, or over the top of other dialogue. It is usually used to invite readers to become co-conspirators and participate in a jest, plot, ploy, etc. and is usually used to create humour and dramatic irony.
It was commonly employed in Shakespearean and Classical drama, and is widely viewed as a convention of pantomime or melodrama.
