Six Characters in Search of an Author

'Madly ingenious... brilliant... breathtaking.' - The Independent  

Following its critically acclaimed run on London's West End, Headlong's radical re-imagining of this celebrated satire comes to Sydney Festival.

Six strangers arrive unannounced during the editing of a docu-drama, adamant they are fictional characters in search of an author. As the compelling narrative unfolds, their story is filmed and becomes entwined with the footage already being edited.

Now updated and re-contextualised for the 21st century, Six Characters is a harrowing and witty play where reality and fiction become increasingly blurred. What unfolds is a sinister parable for a media-obsessed age and an exhilarating exploration of how we define ourselves and what we call ‘reality'.
