What if truth had no single answer, and identity was just a mask?
About this Event

Join us for an unforgettable evening exploring one of theatre's greatest rebellions.

Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author is a fundamental work of the twentieth century, and one of the most daring. Pirandello transforms the stage into a space of crisis, where there are no longer truths, but only different points of view, masks, and conflicts. The characters, more alive than the actors themselves, show the drama of fragmented identity in a way that feels just as urgent today as it did in 1921.

This is theatre that reflects on itself. Theatre that unsettles. Theatre that changed everything.

Professor Donato Santeramo of the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Queen's University brings this landmark work to life in an engaging, accessible evening that will change the way you see theatre, and maybe yourself.

No theatre background required. Just curiosity, and an appetite.

Appetizers and 1 drink included

Seats are limited. Reserve yours today.
