Start by brainstorming ideas for your one act play story. You can draw inspiration from real - life events, books you've read, or movies you've seen. Once you have an idea, focus on building the characters. Give them names, ages, and backstories. For example, if you're writing a mystery one - act play, your detective character might have a past experience that makes them particularly determined to solve the case. After that, write the action. This includes what the characters do, how they interact with each other and their environment. Try to create a sense of tension or excitement to keep the audience interested.

The beginning is vital in a one - act play story. It has to grab the audience's attention right away. You can start with a surprising statement or an interesting action. Then, the middle part should build up the tension or develop the relationships. In the end, there should be a satisfying conclusion. Additionally, the use of symbols can add depth to the story.
