Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello
Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price Luigi Pirandello's 1921 play about the nature of theatre and the problems of theatricality, in which six characters, whose author has abandoned them mid-process, turn up at a rehearsal and demand to be played by the actors present in order to resolve their tragedy and become 'real'. This edition of Six Characters in Search of an Author, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, is translated and introduced by Stephen Mulrine.
Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer, winner of the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature. His plays include Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921). Stephen Mulrine (1937–2020) was a Glasgow-born poet and playwright who wrote extensively for radio and television, and published many translations, including English translations of plays in Russian by Chekhov, Gogol and Gorky, as well as translations of plays by Ibsen, Molière, Pirandello, Strindberg and others.
