“Six characters in search of an author”

TIRANA, September 1 – Comedy “Six characters in search of an author” by Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello which opened last September the first edition of the Balkan Theatre festival, an experimental event bringing together Balkan theatres in Tirana, will return to the National Theatre in Tirana this weekend for three days from October 15 to 17 at 19.00.
The comedy, premiered last April in the frame of Italian-Albanian great season of cultural events, is directed by Mehmet Xhelili, and will bring on stage Fatos Sela, Olta Daku, and Eftiola Lacka.
Regarded as one of the most influential plays of the 20th century, “Six characters in search of an author” is a classic work of the theater of the absurd. The play follows the drama of six fictional, but living and breathing characters, members of one family.
