New Hampshire Theatre Project's 25th Season to Open with SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR, 11/15-12/1
by BWW News Desk - October 29, 2013
New Hampshire Theatre Project's 25th Anniversary Seasonopens with Six Characters in Search of an Author, written by Luigi Pirandello. With its startling originality, Six Characters is now considered one of the most influential plays in the history of world literature, although it incited audience rioting at its 1921 debut in Rome. In what begins as a realistic play, six figures arrive who make the extraordinary claim that they are the incomplete but independent products of an author's imagination - 'characters' the author abandoned when he couldn't complete their story. These 'characters' have come in search of someone who will give them the fullness of literary life. Furthermore, these 'characters' outrageously claim that they are more 'real' than the actors who eventually want to portray them. Pirandello showed how illusion mixes with reality and how people see the same thing in many different ways. Considered the forerunner of Theatre of the Absurd, Pirandello was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934.

Lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail, stalwart Eric Idle and composer John Du Prez adapt the classic film while adding swipes at Vegas glitz and Broadway conventions to the film's anarchic spirit. MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT "raises silliness to an artform!" (The Sunday Times).

On October 23rd I was met with an interesting opportunity for an evening of entertainment. I actually had to make a choice.
