One-Act Plays: A Brief Guide to the World of Short Theatre
One-act play is a short play that can be performed in one act, typically lasting between 10 and 60 minutes. It is a self-contained story with a beginning, middle, and end, and it usually has fewer characters than a full-length play. One-act plays are often used to showcase the work of emerging playwrights or to provide a brief interlude within a larger theatrical event. They can also be used as a way to explore a particular theme or idea without committing to a full-length production.
