This original adaptation of Luigi Pirandello’s SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR was originally conceived by author and director Nick Gabriel at the height of the CoVID-19 pandemic and further developed in response to the #metoo movement. Gabriel has recreated a version of this metatheatrical, Existentialist classic that is faithful to Pirandello’s original vision, while contemporizing the circumstances to reflect the current cultural zeitgeist.
SYNOPSIS
SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR is populated with a group of actors and a director who are rehearsing a play called THE RULES OF THE GAME. Just as their rehearsal gets underway, six characters appear at the stage door. The characters that appear at the stage door are not characters in THE RULES OF THE GAME. They are characters in a different, unnamed, unfinished dramatic narrative and they demand that their stories be heard.
Running Time: 75 min
