Play Scripts
Almost all plays have what is known as a three-act structure:
• Exposition – including history, foreshadowing, inciting incident
• Complication – this is the longest section, including point of attack, various complications and solutions until the climax
• Resolution – short wrap-up
This structure can be divided up into scenes – which is easier for intermission.
Format:
• Title page with address in the bottom left corner and agent address in the bottom right corner
• List of Characters with a short description of who they are listed in order of importance
• Setting description
• Time description
• Acts with scenes listed
• Act 1, Scene 1 and following scenes
• Act 2, Scene 1 and following scenes
• Act 3, Scene 1
