Six Characters in Search of an Author

Exploring the blurred lines between reality and illusion, this play features an acting troupe interrupted by six characters seeking their author. As the narrative unfolds, the characters challenge the manager's perception, leading to a profound shift where they appear more authentic than the actors. This innovative work, a hallmark of absurdist theatre, sparked controversy and division among its initial audiences in Rome, yet later gained acclaim in Milan and on Broadway, highlighting Pirandello's exploration of identity and truth.
