4.4 Abstraction One-Act Play

(8 minutes)
One-act play has only one division as distinct from plays that occur over
several acts. There is a complete drama within one act.

Characteristics:
Brief, condensed, and single in effect
One situation is presented
There should be no minor plots or side actions that may distract
attention for the single purpose or effect
Characters are few in number, quickly introduced, and very
limited in development
4.5 Application Individual Activity:

a piece of paper, write your:
