One of the most important characteristics of this theatrical art is on a particular person and in the first appearance of the first actor on the stage in order to face the audience, as if the viewer was satisfied with what this actor presented, as if the actor was thinking alone, as a single person and with himself and he agreed on the stage, and everything was shown. By one actor, so the actor must focus on the event, as well as the psychological conflict, which is the most important characteristics and features of the monodrama, because the development of events with the presence of one actor puts tremendous pressure on the psyche of the actor, so it is the internal conflict presented in the monodrama with the conflict in the joint work in Traditional performances by several actors, hence the work of the monodrama like the work of the artist where he is more concerned with the sincerity of the individual than the sincerity of the group.
