This is a criticism of the play, Six Characters in Search of an Author, by Luigi Pirandello, the 1934 Nobel prize winner for literature and considered the most important Italian dramatist during the period between World Wars I and II. Born in Sicily and educated in Rome, Pirandello gained international renown in 1921 for this play, which was originally entitled Sei Personaggi in Cerca d'Autore (Aladren 2001). The play reveals two plots in a single presentation: a rehearsal of a play by a group of actors and the story of a family of six members, who disturbs the group's manager to give its story an ending.
