I've been an actor for almost 40 years, a stage manager, and a director, and I ALWAYS find stage directions annoying, even in a play I'm working on.  Reading one?  They drive me nuts - I'm always tempted to get out little figures & try to work the blocking!

 Personally, I wish it had been written like a story rather than play. I find stage directions and such distracting from the story–but it is what it is.
