Six Characters in Search of an Author
by Luigi Pirandello
A new version by Rupert Goold and Ben Power
With Ian McDiarmid
Premiered in Rome in 1921, Luigi Pirandello's innovative and probing drama changed theatre's perception of itself and is regarded as a masterwork by a master dramatist.
Six Characters in Search of an Author blurs the borders between fiction and life, between the stage and the world outside. Now updated and re-contextualised for the twenty - first century, it is a sinister parable for a media-obessesed age and an exhilarating exploration of how we define ourselves and what we call 'reality' .
Six Characters in Search of an Author is directed by Rupert Goold whose production of Macbeth was the runaway hit at the Chichester Festival Theatre and went on to play sell-out seasons at the Gielgud Theatre and New York.
