Abstract
This study examines dialogue in the Northern Sotho one-act play titled 'Rašašane', adopted from the anthology of one-act plays Ledile le Papadi tše Dingwe, written by S.A Mamadi. Focus will be on dialogue features; polarity, informativeness, progression and coherence. The introduction will cover a definition of the concept of dialogue, followed by literature review, research methodology, and discussion on dramatic dialogue and one-act play. Lastly, the study will conclude by stating that one-act play should follow dramatic dialogue features to increase dramatically and not lack information for the readers.
