What makes One-Act dramas like Trifles effective?

One-Act plays have become more popular after they showed that
they can produce the same effect of quasi instant gratification in the same level that a short
story does.


One of the factors for its effectiveness is that it
gives playwrights a chance produce a substantial piece of work in a shorter amount of time. It
also regulates the number of characters, making it much simpler to split the action, climax, and
falling action among fewer characters hence giving them more power
individually.


Because the one-act play is unapologetic in its
shorter length of action, it can be more daring and adventurous in finding ways to get to the
conclusion of the storyline. It can be surprising and more engaging than a three-act
play.


Nevertheless as the play "Trifles" can show, the action is
unequivocally an attention-getter and the topic so rich that it leaves you in consistent suspense
until the end.
