UJ Offer: Six Characters in Search of an Author

No one has left a performance of this groundbreaking production without an indelible memory of what they have just witnessed.

A radical re-imagining of Pirandello’s classic, Six Characters in Search of an Author has transferred to the Gielgud Theatre immediately following its sell-out premiere season at the Chichester Festival Theatre.

Six strangers appear unannounced during the editing of a docu-drama declaring themselves fictional characters in search of an author. As their compelling narrative unfolds, the documentary maker begins to film their story and reality and fiction become increasingly blurred.

Directed by Rupert Goold (Macbeth starring Patrick Stewart), this stunning play is a parable for a media obsessed age and an exhilarating exploration of how we define ourselves in the 21st Century.
