 Lesson Objectives
Analyze the elements of a one-act play, including setting, plot, characters,
theme, and dialogue, as demonstrated through written or oral responses.

Develop a deep appreciation for the art of drama by empathizing with

characters, recognizing the power of storytelling, and valuing diverse
perspectives portrayed in one-act plays.

Demonstrate their understanding of the play's elements by collaboratively

staging and performing a selected scene from a one-act play, incorporating
appropriate gestures, movements, and vocal expressions to convey character
emotions and intentions effectively.
 ONE ACT PLAY
were written and staged throughout the 18th
and 19th centuries as "The Curtain Raisers"
and "The After Pieces". They were chiefly
farcical. They served to amuse the audience
before the actual drama commencement or
were staged for their amusement just after it
had come to an end.
 History of One-Act play
The famous one-act "Monkey's Paw" was first staged as a ''Curtain Raiser" and it proved to
be more entertaining than the main drama. It may be said to mark the beginning of the
modern one-act play.
The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the beginning of drama – in ancient Greece,
Cyclops, a play on the forest God, by Euripides, is an early example.
The one-act play requires no elaborate setting and costumes, which comes in handy to be
staged in amateur dramatic societies and clubs. Previously, you have learned the different
elements of a story.

Theme
Most plays have a theme or main ideas, such as the value of
prayer, the rewards of showing patience, or the healing
power of love. The play’s outcome implies some lessons or
morals about the theme or affirms some meaningful
observation or conclusion about life.
Genre
is the type of play. Examples are tragedy, comedy, romantic,
mystery and historical play
Audience
is a group of people who watch the play. An audience can be the
most important element of drama to be considered since it is the
audience that determines whether the play is successful. Many
playwrights also write the drama’s plot with great concern
regarding their groups of the audience rather than their interests.
 Romeo and Juliet
In the town of Verona lived two families—the Capulets and the Montagues—who were
enemies. Among the Montagues was Romeo. He attended a ball to meet his love,
Rosaline, but when he saw Juliet. He forgot everything about Rosaline. He was asking
around about Juliet when Tybalt saw him and prepared a fight, but the elder Capulet
stopped him. Later, when Romeo found time to speak to Juliet, He confessed his
feelings to her, but he felt fear when he found out that Juliet was a Capulet. Romeo and
Juliet see and interacts with their parents as figures of authority because they were the
head of the family. But because of the distant relationship between Romeo and Juliet
with their parents, they rebelled and chose love over family. Thus, the start of the
tragic fate of these two star-crossed lovers.
