Six Characters in Search of an Author

"Do you know who you are ?" This play from a famous Italian author Luigi Pirandello was very well performed last night at the Lyceum theatre. A group of actors were starting to rehearse when a family of six people arrived on the stage coming from nowhere and asking to perform. In the first time, the sceptic director was thinking of a joke and got crazy and furious. Their engagement and their determination while playing convinced the director step by step. And the play from there turned beyond understanding for the group of actors, what is real, what is not, and then deep questions about identity, the key according to me of the play. We really enjoyed the performance.
