English term or phrase: aside
Definition from Bedford/St. Martin's:
In drama, a speech directed to the audience that supposedly is not audible to the other characters onstage at the time. When Hamlet first appears onstage, for example, his aside "A little more than kin, and less than kind!" gives the audience a strong sense of his alienation from King Claudius.

Example sentence(s):

prehovor postavy bokom alebo k divákovi


Definition from own experience or research:
Prehovor postavy bokom alebo k divákovi (ad spectatorem) je prehovor jednej postavy, pri ktorej sa uplatňuje konvencia, že ju ostatné postavy na scéne nepočujú.

Example sentence(s):
Explanation:
Taktiež sa používajú "prehovor bokom, reč ad spectatorem, prehovor ad spectatorem". No v Slovníku literárnovedných termínov (Findra, Gombala, Plintovič, SPN 1987) sa spomína práve termín "prehovor postavy bokom alebo k divákovi."
