one-man show

A one-man show is a theatrical performance where a single actor carries the entire production, portraying multiple characters or a complex story on their own. It typically involves the actor delivering all dialogue, narration, and character changes, often using minimal sets or props. This format emphasizes the actor's talent and versatility, creating an intimate experience for the audience. One-man shows can be comedic, dramatic, or experimental, and are often centered around a personal story, a specific theme, or a monologue. They require significant skill in storytelling, acting, and stage presence, highlighting the power of individual performance.
