«Seis personajes en busca de autor» is the play by Luigi Pirandello, published by Unidad in hardcover (93 pages, in Spanish).
A theatrical rehearsal is interrupted by six characters who claim to have been abandoned by their author and demand that their story be performed. The clash with the director and actors allows Pirandello to reflect on identity, the boundary between reality and fiction, and the limits of theater.
Originally published in 1921 as «Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore»; this 1999 edition includes a translation by Leonardo Valencia Assogna and a foreword by Francisco Nieva.
For literature students and readers interested in modern theater and in reflection on stage creation.
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.
