About the Author
Luigi Pirandello was born of rich, middle-class parents in Girgenti (Agrigento), Sicily, on 28 June 1867. As a young man he studied at the Universities of Palermo, Rome, and Bonn, where he gained his doctorate in 1891. His first published work, Mal giocondo (1889), was a collection of poems. It was followed by other volumes of poems, critical essays, novels, short stories, and over forty plays. In 1894 he married Antoinetta Portulano, the daughter of his father's business associate. Financial disaster and a severe illness brought on by the birth of their third child drove his wife to a hysterical form of insanity. Only in 1918, when her presence in the family constituted a real threat to their daughter's safety did Pirandello agree to have his wife committed to an asylum. The enormous emotional strain he felt at this time is reflected in the intense pessimism found in his work. Pirandello's first real success in the theatre came about in 1921 when Six Characters in Search of an Author was performed. Henry IV followed the next year and confirmed his position as a playwright. In the following years Pirandello travelled abroad extensively. He embarked on a career as a producer and in 1925 founded his Art Theatre in Rome. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1934 and died in Rome on 10 December 1936.Mark Musa is a professor at the Center for Italian Studies at Indiana University. A former Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellow, Musa is the author of a highly acclaimed translation of Dante's Divine Comedy.

I've owned a dozen copies over the years, and needed a new one. This is so brilliant, I don't have words to describe it. I worked in L.A. theatre and know the script well -- I also taught scriptwriting at a local L.A. campus and always used this as an example of brilliant writing.
A classic by an extremely imaginative author. It is translated from Italian which is evident at places in somewhat stilted language. But quite readable excepting of course the complex and often ambiguous relationships among the characters.
The real beginning of the absurdist movement. It is actually a philosophical argument between Plato and Aristotle put into the framework of a play. Nominalism vs. Realism in the aftermath of the First World War..
I enjoyed reading this play. I'd love to see it performed on stage.
Honestly, I found it just too depressing and the language too old fashioned and verbose to be very enjoyable, though it was undoubtedly well written.
Existentialism at its best in this play. Six lost characters looking to play out the drama of their lives find a manager willing to hear them out, but he can't possibly grasp the reality of their situation. Well written and enjoyable as it is painful to read.
Pirandello asks us to consider the idea that we are looking for an author to write, or rewrite our lives. But we each want to be our own author, characters and actors with complete control of our story. In this classic the various characters get out of hand - they cannot be controlled!
