Unities of time, place and action
The three principles of dramatic structure.
Unity of time: action in drama takes place in “real” or actual elapsed time; in some traditions, unity of time means that dramatic action takes place within 24 hours.
Unity of place: action takes place in one location.
Unity of action: Drama is focused through one plot with no subsidiary plots or subplots.
