translated from Russian by Julius West.
The One-act Play
One act play gained currency as a dramatic form towards the end of the nineteenth century. The one act play is called so because the entire dramatic action is complete within a single act. The play is tightly constructed. There is little scope of development of character or plot, rather the focus is on the dramatic Situation. An example of a renouned one act play is J. M. Synge's Riders to the
Sea.
