Hi,
One act play is any play with only one act means performance is not divided into sections with intermissions . As such , ten minute plays are a type of  one act play , but most acts are longer.
A full length play includes several acts , each containing a number of scenes . A scene is part of an act , usually defined by characters and setting involved . Dividing a play up like this makes it possible to tell longer , more complicated stories.
Hope it helps.

Hi Aspirant,

The Main difference between them is their in name itself.

One-Act Play isn't distributed in a lot of parts. There might still be a multiple numbers of scenes, but the show goes straight through with no cuts and stops. The show's length is usually shorter and straight to the point. And they tend to contain comedy angle, but that's not a rule.

whereas, Full-Length Act play contains a lot of chapters and has multiple number of scenes.

Hello Sai,

This is the difference between one-act play and full length play,

One-Act play:

A one-act play is a play that has only one act, as distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. In recent years, the 10-minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions.

Full Length Play:

A full-length play includes several acts, each containing a number of scenes. An “act” is a section of the overall story (e.g., a three-act structure will usually include a setup, a confrontation and a resolution). A “scene” is part of an act, usually defined by the characters and setting involved.
