one-hander
Single-actor theatrical piece
A one-hander is something done or operated with one hand.
In sports, it's a shot or catch made single-handedly: He scored with a spectacular one-hander.
In theater, it's a play with only one performer.
The term also applies to tasks manageable while holding something else—a sandwich you can eat one-handed, a book you can read while nursing a baby.
