Description

Winner of the Nobel Prize in 1934, Luigi Pirandello used to be probably the most original and powerful dramatists of his time—the playwright par excellence of the conflict between illusion and reality. His plays dramatize with force and eloquence the loneliness and isolation of the person both from society and from himself.
 
In Six Characters in Search of an Author, his greatest work, these themes are played out with characteristic brilliance. First performed in 1921, the play concerns six living characters—members of the family embroiled in their very own human drama—who come to a theater and demand that the chief and his actors stage their life story. Filled with both humor and despair, Six Characters in Search of an Author is Pirandello’s most atypical achievement—as it explores the fundamentally absurd and tragic nature of the human condition.
 
This Signet Classic edition includes an introduction by Eric Bentley, the generally acclaimed author, translator, and international theater authority.
