Six Characters in Search of an Author at Archway Theatre

Six Characters in Search of an Author is Luigi Pirandello's quintessential story of the fine line between the characters in a play and the actors who portray them. This satirical tragicomedy opens on a theater company's rehearsal, which is interrupted when six fictional characters show up looking for an author to present their stories. The lines between reality and fiction become blurred as the characters interact with the "real people" in this play within a play (... sort of). The actors of the original play become the audience for the characters, entering into a theatrical hall of mirrors, where the stage becomes more real than the world itself. Whether you're a theater person or simply a lover of theater, you'll adore the barbed humor in this modernist masterpiece at Archway Theatre. This show is not suitable for children under the age of 13.
