“Six Characters in Search of an Author”

Staged in the frame of the “Italy, Albania, Two Peoples, One Sea, One Friendship” events that are being held in Albania, the “Six Characters in Search of an Author” by Italian playwright, poet and novelist Luigi Pirandello 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: a father, a mother, a son, and three stepchildren. The six force their way in on the rehearsal of a theater company and demand that their suffering be played on the stage. The subsequent interactions between the characters and the actors reveal the limits of the theatrical conventions and pose questions about the meaning of reality.
