Single inverted commas

Although it is usual to enclose a word under discussion in single inverted commas, I have chosen instead to emphasise it in red to prevent confusion with apostrophes.
These posts are always short and clear so that they can be read easily on a mobile if you follow by email (the red may not show, however!) This is completely free.

SOLILOQUY

This is a speech uttered when a character is alone on the stage or is addressing the audience rather than the other players. Its function is usually to reveal inner thoughts and the apron-fronted stage of an Elizabethan theatre lent itself to this purpose.
