As much as a bunch of words can also be seen as a simple photo/image of a collection of words. Any meaning is a projection of the readers/observers imagination.
How do you make it a play?
Well, in some villages to be a director requires rigorous training that lasts over five years. At the end of which, they are considered to be young apprentices who MAY become directors.
You don't make it a play by magic. You make it a play by making decisions then discovering how off the mark these decisions are through the doing of them. but then even this option may be wrong - and hopefully, the audience gets to see these great feats of failure, and laugh and/cry cry at these events... or reject them, or....
Interesting...Is the "play the thing?" as has been said. I can see many roads but, as you point out, the practice of making decisions and 'doing' with critical engagement is what matters. Images and other text are not necessarily separate phenomena.
