Brainstorm an idea as the video suggests: write down all your ideas and keep a written record of them until you have developed a solid plot, setting, and characters for a ten-minute, one-act play. A good play has a conflict that eventually is resolved (or reaches at least a partial resolution or change of some kind). For example, in Beyond the Horizon we learn in Act I, Scene I about some conflicts between brothers Robert and Andrew. They do not understand each other’s dreams as they have different values.
