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.

Amadeus, Peter Shaffer's exquisite masterpiece and winner of a Tony Award for Best Play and an Academy Award for Best Film, opens Friday, January 7 at New Hampshire Theatre Project.
New Hampshire Theatre Project's 2010-11 Season continues with Amadeus, Peter Shaffer's exquisite masterpiece and winner of a Tony Award for Best Play and an Academy Award for Best Film. After 20 years and six versions, this latest script is hailed by reviewers as an 'extraordinarily focused and lucid play' that is far superior to the original which opened on Broadway 30 years ago. Infused with Mozart's brilliant and heartbreaking music, the story of Court Composer Antonio Salieri's fierce jealousy of child prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is theatre at its very best - a dramatic power struggle between two imperfect human creatures and their perfect Divine Muse. Directed by Genevieve Aichele, with costume design by Michele Macadaeg and set/lighting design by Quentin Stockwell, NHTP's production takes place in a world that is both magically distant and disconcertingly close to home.
