Six Characters in Search of an Author
by Luigi Pirandello
in a new version by Niclas Olson
|
How far would you go to tell your story? For a family of six, abandoned by their author, the answer is found in Luigi Pirandello’s meta-theatrical treatise on reality, fiction, and the process of storytelling. In the midst of rehearsal, the director and cast of a new play are dragged into the lives of six characters with a mysterious demand: they need someone to finish their story. As the unfinished story begins to take shape, the cast and crew are left to wonder what is fiction? What is truth; and where the line between the two really lies?This new and exciting version of Pirandello’s classic from playwright Niclas Olson is an intimate and fast paced evening at the theater. (4M, 5W, 2 M or F)
