Title: “TWO MALFUNCTIONING ANDROIDS”
Genre: Experimental drama
Length: 20 mins
Logline: As a play about two malfunctioning androids spirals out of control, the actors performing it find their marriage, their identities, and the nature of their own emotions caught in an increasingly surreal struggle between performance and reality.

Hey, everybody! I’m thinking of submitting this to a few short play competitions in my area to be performed by my friends and I. I thought I’d post here to see if any of you fine folks might be open to giving feedback before I do so. I’d be happy to do a script swap! Feel free to DM me, email me, or message me on Discord.

What is an Act?

0 Upvotes

An act is a major division in a play, like a chapter in a novel, to divide the narrative into large, manageable sections. Acts break down the plot according to key narrative stages, such as exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution, also known as Freytags Pyramid. Acts also mark shifts in location, time, theme, or character development. A play can contain up to 5 acts with each act containing multiple scenes.
