"Tijdens de repetities voor Ieder zijn rol, óók van Pirandello, komen zes Personages het theater binnenlopen. Ze zeggen op zoek te zijn naar een Auteur die hun verhaal kan opschrijven. Wanneer er geen Auteur aanwezig blijkt te zijn, spelen ze hun verhaal maar voor de Acteurs, zodat die het later kunnen vertolken. Dit geeft aanleiding tot analyses over de illusie van werkelijkheid van het toneel en de werkelijkheid van de Personages.

Weet zes uur potentieel dodelijke analyse wonderlijk goed te doorstaan."

"This play, made by Pirandello, is very philosophical indeed. He delved and dived deeper to define the definition of "reality." The basic questions that the story arises were: "Who am I?" and "What is real?" and he gave us a clear answer through this play. Hats down to one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature."

"Naked Masks (5 plays) was the edition I have worked in the most, for teaching or for the PhD exams. Six Characters is still the best of them all, but I enjoy all the others in the group and believe I've seen most in Paris these past 10 years."
