Riassunto

Luigi Pirandello is widely regarded as one of the foremost innovators in twentieth-century theatre. Six Characters in Search of an Author caused a riot when it was first produced in Rome in 1921 and was banned by the Lord Chamberlain from public performance in Britain until 1928. It remains today an extraordinary and fascinating play.

Recensione:

Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author is one of the great works of 20th-century modernism, as significant in its way as the discovery of cubism in art and the development of jazz and serialism in music. --Telegraph

L'autore:

Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, and short story writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934, for his bold and brilliant renovation of the drama and the stage. 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 for Theatre of the Absurd.

Stephen Mulrine was a Senior Lecturer, Historical & Critical Studies, Glasgow School of Art; an Extra Mural Tutor, Creative Writing, Glasgow University; and he is a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama. Following a prolific second career writing original plays for radio and television, Stephen began translating plays, mainly from Russian, in the late 1980s. Published and produced work ranges from the great 19th Century classics Pushkin, Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, etc to contemporary drama by Gelman and Petrushevskaya. Now retired from academic life, Stephen's translations, published mainly by Nick Hern Books include versions of Ibsen, Molière, Pirandello, Strindberg, Beaumarchais and others.
