A co-production with NTS and the Royal Lyceum, Luigi Pirandello’s story of six characters abandoned by their author who desperately need a writer to complete their story. Trapped inside a traumatic event from which they long to escape, only acting out the scenes that were written for them will release them. Arriving at the theatre, it falls to one unwitting director and his hapless band of actors to take on their quest, picking up their troubled family story. As the surreal rehearsals take place, guilty secrets begin to unfold. But one way or another, their tragic story must be told.
