Personal devices can become part of a live-text system without replacing the theatre: they extend how audiences receive language, access and context.

This note is part of the Sténtor research notebook. Full articles will be published as the project moves through real rehearsals, audience tests and live-performance use.

For now, the notebook documents the questions guiding the work: how performance text is prepared, how it is cued live, how audiences receive it on screens or personal devices, and how feedback can become shared knowledge.
