Reading Six Characters in Search of an Author | Alexandria
Read Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello. Breaking reality itself, six fictional characters storm a theater, interrupting rehearsal to demand their story be told—while insisting they're more real than the actors trying to play them. Pirandello's meta-masterpiece shatters the fourth wall to explore an unsettling truth: fictional beings may have more authentic existence than the "real" people who created them.
