Six Characters In Search Of An Author. Produced and directed by John Selwyn Gilbert. (1977)

Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921) was transmitted as the twelfth of the sixteen television productions by the OUP which were shown on television as part of the course materials supporting the work of distance-learning students who were enrolled on the annual A307 Drama course (1977-1981). This production of Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore, which used Frederick May’s English translation first published by Heinemann in 1954, was one of four A307 productions directed and produced by John Selwyn Gilbert.
