What is Classical unities?
{{More sources}} The '''classical unities''', '''Aristotelian unities''' or '''three unities''' are rules for [[drama]]. They are found in [[Aristotle]]'s ''[[Poetics (Aristotle)|Poetics]]''. These are the three unities: * The ''unity of action'': a play should have one main action that it follows, with no or few subplots. * The ''unity of place'': a play should cover a single physical space and should not attempt to compress geography, nor should the stage represent more than one place. * The ''unity of time'': the action in a play should take place over no more than 24 hours.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sutori|url=https://www.sutori.com/en/story/the-three-unities-of-classical-drama--f7TvjcfwoNJb5vyG356VkDj5|access-date=2023-04-14|website=www.sutori.com|language=en}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Drama]] [[Category:Theater]] {{performing-arts-stub}}
