unity of place
a. Each of the three dramatic principles requiring limitation of the supposed time of a play to the time taken to act it, or to a single day (more fully unity of time), use of one scene throughout (more fully unity of place), and concentration on the development of a single plot (more fully unity of action); (hence) these principles as applied to other literary or dramatic works. Also in extended use.These dramatic principles are derived from Renaissance interpretations of Aristotle's Poetics and had a particular influence on 17th-cent. French neoclassical drama.
