One-Person Shows

If one tackles the full solo acting, then creating a story line that a single person will enact, and maintaining interest and pace will be the challenge. However, multiple characters can be presented, and the actor can change between them as the story allows. Some successful full-length shows have been performed by two actors, who played all the parts, such as the Greater Tuna series and Charles Ludlam's The Mystery of Irma Vep. Many ideas and possibilities for the solo actor can be gleaned from these works.

So, if you yearn for complete creative control, this may be a genre for you to check out.
