Ghostlight Ensemble's production examines the institutional racism and biases found in modern theatre and leaves the audience wondering if they were watching a show, or were they, in fact, the show.Īs a partner to this production, Ghostlight will also present Six Authors in Search of a Character, a short play festival in which six authors pen 10-minute plays around the “missing” character in The Mountain Giants, Luigi Pirandello’s final, unfinished play. But they need an author to put their stories together so there can be a dramatic form.
They say they each have a dramatic story to tell and give hints of it. Six characters, wearing masks, and identified only as Father, Mother, Stepdaughter, Son, Boy, and Girl, follow the attendant up the aisle and beg the producer to find them an author who can write a play about them, or to include them in the play he is about to produce. Their spokesperson (The Father) says they are six characters looking for an author. Six characters come looking for life and find the theatre world acutely unable to make them real. Into this rehearsal came a strange group of six people, seemingly from another time. In the age of reality television when fiction is often realer than reality, Luigi Pirandello’s classic metatheatrical play about the relationship between authors, characters, actors, directors and audience takes on new relevance.
