Description |
Tells the tale of six characters whose author has failed to complete their story. Driven to play out the life that is rightfully theirs, these characters interrupt the rehearsal of another Pirandello play and request that they be allowed to live out their lives here, on this stage. Thinking it an interesting theatrical experiment, the manager consents. He soon regrets his decision, however, as the characters refuse to stay within the arbitrary boundaries that he has set for them. |
