«Six personnages en quête d'auteur» is the play by Luigi Pirandello, published by Folio in paperback (256 pages, in French).
In this metatheatrical piece, six characters interrupt a theatre company's rehearsal to demand an author stage the drama they carry. Pirandello exposes what happens on the boards when there is no audience and blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality, as actors and fictional creatures dispute the work's meaning.
French edition from the Folio collection (no. 1063), which also includes «La volupté de l'honneur».
For those interested in modern theatre and the work of Pirandello, Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934.
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.
