two-hander
Play with two
A two-hander is a play, film, or other dramatic work featuring only two performers.
The term emphasizes the intimate scale and the demands placed on both actors: The play is a two-hander about a married couple in crisis.
In other contexts, a two-hander is something requiring both hands—a sword, a grip, a catch.
