Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore

Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore is a play by Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello, first performed on May 9, 1921. The story unfolds in a theater where six characters, seeking an author to realize their drama, interrupt a rehearsal. This work is notable for its innovative structure and is considered one of the earliest examples of absurdist theater, challenging traditional narrative forms and audience expectations. Initially met with controversy, it later gained acclaim for its exploration of identity and reality.
