    One Act Play: One-act play is a play that has only one act, as distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. Some One-act plays by major dramatists are – • Edward Albee – The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? (2002) • Samuel Beckett – Krapp's Last Tape (1958) • Anton Chekhov – A Marriage Proposal (1890) • Israel Horovitz – Line (1974) • Eugène Ionesco – The Bald Soprano (1950) • Arthur Miller – A Memory of Two Mondays (1955) • August Strindberg – Pariah (1889), Motherly Love (1892), and The First Warning (1892) • Thornton Wilder – The Long Christmas Dinner (1931)
