Best Answer

Implicit stage directions are the directions that aren't given directly in a script. For example, a script may say:

Bert: No John, I can't let you leave.

If there are no actions accompanying or following the line, the actor/director must infer that Bert would grab John--or otherwise block him from leaving.

Bert: No John, I can't let you leave.

[Bert locks the door.]

What is in brackets is EXPLICIT stage directions.

What is an apostrophe in drama?

I wonder if you mean 'antistrophe'. In ancient Greek Drama the chorus delivering an ode would move across the stage in one direction (the strophe) and then turn and move in the opposite direction (the antistrophe). But since in rhetoric an apostrophe means a diversion or digression, I suppose that the turning point when the chorus switches from strophe to antistrophe could be considered an apostrophe too.
