5 as was the custom, based on the Classic model.

all have five - there were very particular rules applied to playwriting (just as most classical symphonies comprise four movements).
With each act divided into several scenes -
and Shakespeare's plays carry line numbers too, to make it easier for reference. (e.g. Act 3 - Scene 2 - Line 102)

Usually 5. I'm not sure that all of them do, but that was the standard at the time.
