Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 192 pages. Six people arrive in a theatre during rehearsals f or a play. But they are not ordinary people. They are the charact ers of a play that has not yet been written. Trapped inside a tra umatic event from which they long to escape, they desperately nee d a writer to complete their story and release them. Intrigued by their situation, the director invites them to act out the key ev ents of their lives . Pirandello's best-known play and one of the most extraordinary and mysterious plays of the 20th century, Six Characters speaks directly to an age of uncertainty: where do we come from, where are we going, how do we become what we want to be?
