When you have been handed a bad script do you improvise, or what?

Question

Why? I need more details...

Answer 1

Unless the director gives you permission...or someone in charge gives permission...you should be doing it as written.

Often the mark of a good actor is his/her ability to work with banal, dreadful material...and still deliver something memorable.

Answer 2

No, you read the lines as written.

Answer 3

Do the lines but change little things to make it you.  Dont change the way the play is going but you could make it more you as long as they dont notice ;-) lol

Answer 4

Unless I'm given the go signal to improvise then I would but if not then I try to follow the script and give it my best. Then I would try to suggest to the director afterwards if we cna change a few things in the script.
