How should we say:
1. A play is a story that people watch rather than read.
2. A play is a story that people watch but not read.
I think
1.They would better watch , than ...
2. They want to watch , but NOT read.
No , I am really confused 
Thanks

A play is a story that people watch rather than read /
is correct / descriptive
A play is a story that people watch but don �t read
is correct / descriptive
they should rather watch than..... / here you give your opinion
they want to watch but they don �t want to read / here you express an intention
According to me these sentences are correct but there a few differences in the meaning
