(Edward Augustine) Three Plays Six characters in search of an author -- Henry IV -- Right you are! (if you think so). Produced by Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Internet Archive) "Three Plays" by Luigi Pirandello is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. It includes notable plays such as "Six Characters in Search of an Author," "Henry IV," and "Right You Are! (If You Think So)." The collection showcases Pirandello's exploration of the complexities of identity, reality, and the nature of creation in theater, often through characters that challenge the boundaries between life and art. The opening portion introduces "Six Characters in Search of an Author," setting the stage for a unique play that blurs the lines between actors and characters. The story begins with a theater company preparing for a rehearsal when six characters arrive unexpectedly, claiming they are in search of an author to complete their story. They express their existential plight—having been abandoned by their creator—and urge the manager and actors to help bring their drama to life. As the characters begin to interact with the theater personnel, the themes of reality versus illusion and the struggles of characters seeking their own narratives are vividly presented, hinting at a satirical yet profound critique of dramatic conventions and the artistic process itself.
