In dramatic poetry or plays, an act is one of the principal divisions of a drama, in which a definite and coherent portion of the plot is represented. The act is generally subdivided into smaller portions called scenes. The Greek dramas were not divided into acts. The dictum that a drama should consist of five acts was first formally laid down by Horace, and is generally adhered to by modern dramatists in tragedy. In comedy no such distinction is observed.
In law an act is something formally done by a legislative or judicial body; a statute or law passed.
