Find the right one-act theatre script for your group We have interepreted "one-act" as an indication of the length of the play, rather than its dramatic structure! These are scripts that last anything from 20 minutes to 75 minutes, and might fill up to half an evening's entertainment. All the scripts can be read in full on the Internet.
