'Six Characters in search of an Author' is a is a satirical
tragicomedy play. First performed in 1921 at the Teatro Valle in
Rome, it had a very mixed reception, with the audience shouting
"Manicomio " ("Madhouse "). However, the reception improved
significantly and in 1922 it played on Broadway at the Princess
Theatre.The play starts with a group of actors preparing to
rehearse for a Pirandello play. The rehearsal is interrupted by the
arrival of six characters. One of then informs the manager that
they are looking for an author. He explains that the author who
created them did not finish their story, and that they therefore
are unrealized characters who have not been fully brought to life.
Initially, the manager goes to throw them out of the theatre, but
becomes more intrigued when they start to describe their story.
