Six Characters in Search of an Author
Description:
Here is the famous Pirandello play - an absurd, glorious, and insightful look at the world of theater itself. In this play, a dysfunctional family of six interrupts the rehearsal of a play to make a curious claim: They are characters who've been abandoned by their author and are seeking a theater troupe to give them an artful sense of completion. On a spare set, portrayers and portrayed begin to overlap, as fiction and reality follow suit. The result is a beguiling tragedy that turns notions of authorship and agency on their heads while offering humanity critical insight into its own selectively scribed existence.
