Succinct

Succinct

<suk-sinked>

terse; compact; concise

something said or written that is short and to the point.

Your play is succinct. It had very few side stories.

Memory trick:
succ reminds of success.
it is a success when it is short.

Used at work:
Make your speech succinct. We are out of time.
