A "One-Woman Show" is a theatrical performance featuring a single actress who portrays multiple characters or tells a story by herself. This format allows for a deep exploration of themes and emotions, as the performer can showcase her range and creativity without the need for a supporting cast. These shows can vary in style, from dramatic monologues to comedic sketches, and often reflect the personal experiences or perspectives of the actress. Notable examples include works by Anna Deavere Smith and Eve Ensler, who have used this format to address social issues and personal narratives effectively.
