One-Act Play Festival

One-Act Play Festival

The One-Act Play Festival is a competitive festival of one-act plays. The plays are usually presented over a week, or weekend, and are judged by an independent adjudicator, normally a member of GODA.

In the UK there are two main organisations operating festivals

  • All England Theatre Festival (AETF)
This is a knock-out competition covering several regional rounds and resulting in an "All England" final
Each festival is distinct but at the end of the year the adjudicators select the best plays to enter a "British All Winners" competition.
