Playing arou nd By Dave Kopel Six Characters in Search of an Author East Quad Thursday-Sunday, November 18-21 T HE CAST IS on stage, rehearsing the play Mixing It Up. The Leading Actor and the Producer argue about costumes. In from the lobby walks a family of six, dressed in black. The Father asks the Producer if the Producer will put the family in a new piece. No, replies the Producer, the current play is already cast. But the Father insists, and goes on to explain himself and his family. They are not unemployed actors; they are six Characters from an unfinished story. They seek a new author, or a producer to put them on stage, to let them com- plete themselves by living out their Story. And so begins Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author. Six Characters in Search of an Author opens Thursday, November 18th, at East Quad's Residential College, at 8:00 p.m. Evening performances con- tinue through Sunday, the 21st; there will also be a matinee Sunday afternoon. at 2:30. The ticket price is three dollars. The Italian playwright Luigi Piran- dello wrote Six Characters in 1921 as a reaction against conventional theatre. Most theatre in Pirandello's time was "naturalist"-that is, the actors pretended they were real characters in the story they were playing out. The audience watched, and accepted the convention of the illusion-the conven- tion that what the actors were doing on stage was real. Pirandello attacked that convention. He disdained theatre for tired businessmen. Merely providing a pleasant diversion, a little sex, and some humor was not Pirandello's goal. Instead, he created theatre that would involve the audience, frustrate it, and force it to re-examine some of its assumptions about reality. The Residential College chose to produce Six Characters this fall for much the same reason-to make the audience think. Although the RC usually does original plays, the program directors found a strong direc- tor in David Kelly, and took the oppor- tunity to present a challenging play, one rarely produced in Ann Arbor. Kelly. a Ph.D. candidate in theatre, has as his goal to create a "hotline" from Pirandello to himself to the cast to the audience, keeping intact the moods Pirandello sought to make the audience feel. Pirandello and Kelly aim to force the audience to puzzle through the multiple levels of reality in the play.
