19 - Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello
Manage episode 298179758 series 2814345
Six Characters is a modern classic. Or maybe just a classic. It's hard to know where the age boundaries for those things are. Either way in this play Pirandello brings an early example of going full meta in theatre, introducing a rehearsal room full of actors (and maybe the real director, stage manager and technician) to a group of fictional characters that have come to life and need help in finishing their dramatic arc.
We talk play structure, Mussolini and Byker Grove.
