Maybe we are all characters in search of our author

I find this play very very complex. I feel like I could read it a million more times and never get one concrete meaning from it. This play opened thousands of doors for my imagination to wander into. I liked how in the beginning, the director talks about how Pirandello's play just make fools out of people, as if they're not themselves in a Pirandello play. This play is SO MUCH different than any play I've ever read. I've never heard of a play within a play. I found it interesting how when the director tells the actors to take a 20 minute break it also serves as the intermission for the audience. I imagine seeing this live would make you feel as though you're a part of everything occuring; so real. Yet, the concept of the 6 characters adds a fictional dimension. What interested me the most, I'd have to say, is the idea that maybe we are all characters in someone's play. What if the world we know: our paths of our lives and the events which occur, were the ideas of an author? What if each person, each family and their unique scenarios, belong to a specific author. And maybe, perhaps, if we were to dream up a person and their life, somewhere in the world that person existed; our creation. Maybe every person in the world is a character in some authors play, but not every life is interesting enough to receive a production. This play certainly leaves you with many questions and personally, makes me very curious. 6 Characters in Search of an Author has opened up many new thoughts and ideas for me.
