One-Act Play Collections - Book 11, Part 2
One-Act Play Collections - Book 11, Part 2
Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 11
Overview: Here are 10 one-act plays offered by various groups of Librivox readers. From Ancient India to the Far Future, from the palaces of royalty to the servants' hall, from comedy to tragedy, from deeply philosophical to farcically entertaining. Enjoy! A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.
