traditional plays typically employ a closed structure while most contemporary plays are open.

The terms 'open' and 'closed' drama go back to the German literary critic, Volker Klotz (1978), who distinguished between plays where the individual acts are tightly connected and logically built on one another, finally leading to a clear resolution of the plot (closed form), and plays where scenes only loosely hang together and are even exchangeable at times and where the ending does not really bring about any conclusive solution or result (open form)
