Blurb

The play is a groundbreaking metatheatrical work in which six unfinished characters interrupt a rehearsal, claiming they were abandoned by their author and are desperate to have their story told. They engage with the director and actors, blurring the line between fiction and reality. As the characters reveal their tragic and emotionally intense backstories, tensions rise between them and the theater troupe. The play explores themes of identity, illusion vs. reality, and the nature of art and authorship.
