A script is the text of a dramatic work. There are several different types.
A screenplay is the script for a feature film. A draft script is a work in progress, which can go through any number of revisions before production. A shooting script is the "final" version that guides the actual production of the film, although in practice significant changes can occur during or even after principal photography. Shooting scripts are easily identifiable by the presence of scene numbers.
A teleplay is the script for a television production. (In practice, it is usually just called a script. "Teleplay" can also refer to a television production that resembles a play.)
An acting edition is the script of a play containing detailed stage directions and additional information, such as prop and wardrobe lists and descriptions of the set(s). This information is usually not provided by the playwright but may be taken from the premiere or another notable production. It is small and light enough to carry in one hand during rehearsal.
