«Seis personajes en busca de autor» is the play by Luigi Pirandello, published by Editorial Edaf, S.L. in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
During a rehearsal, six characters burst in to demand that the story that defines them be performed. Thus, Pirandello offers a reflection on theatrical creation, the role of the author and the director, the relationship between text and stage, and the boundaries between reality and fiction, with a tragic and metaphysical undertone.
It belongs to the Nueva Biblioteca Edaf collection. Includes a translation by Esther Benítez and a prologue by Mª Teresa Navarro Salazar. The Italian original was published in 1921.
For readers of classic theatre and Italian literature; the work is often used as school reading and as an introduction to Pirandello's theatre.
Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer most noted for his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art". Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.
