duologue

Scripted dialogue for two persons, usually actors. Duologues, monologues and discourses were also used in certain periods for non-fiction writing, in order to express ideas in a more entertaining or more comprehensible form (for example, in The Compleat Angler (1653) by Isaak Walton, and in Plato's written dialogues).
