The classical unities or three unities are rules for drama derived from a passage in Aristotle's Poetics. In their neoclassical form they are as follows:

   1. The unity of action: a play should have one main action that it follows, with no or few subplots.
   2. 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.
   3. The unity of time: the action in a play should take place over no more than 24 hours.
