To cite Dear’s play in the body of your paper, you need to cite just the page number. You can mention what scene it is in in your lead-up sentence. For example to cite a quotation from scene 29, p. 66, I would write:

The first thing that Victor thinks of when he sees Elizabeth’s dead body in Scene 29, is that he could revive her: “Quickly! I have the equipment, I can reverse the process– she is still warm and has lost no blood!” (66).

OR, put the scene number in the parenthetical citation:

The first thing that Victor thinks of when he sees Elizabeth’s dead body is that he could revive her: “Quickly! I have the equipment, I can reverse the process– she is still warm and has lost no blood!” (29.66).
