what's a farce?
what does it mean to be upstaged?
You’ve probably heard someone say they were “upstaged”—but did you know the term comes from stage geography?
In traditional theatre, stages were built on a slope, with the back of the stage higher than the front. So walking “upstage” meant literally walking uphill, away from the audience. “Downstage” meant moving closer to them.
And the drama? If an actor moved upstage and forced another to turn their back to the audience to deliver lines—it pulled focus. Thus: being upstaged.
It’s a classic bit of theatre lingo—and a great reminder that even our slang has stagecraft roots.
