What is the author's style in The Deserter by Norman Beim?

The Deserter is a one-act play, a unique dramatic structure. In one-act plays, the action takes place in one setting and tends to be continuous. Beim does divide the action of his play into two distinct scenes. The first scene begins when the sergeant and the soldier walk into the room and begin their conversation. The second scene begins when the priest comes to relieve the sergeant and receive the soldier's confession.
