Six Characters in Search of an Author

This play was very hard for me to understand. I didn't really know what was going on between the Characters. However, the them of the play was very straightforward, and I liked that very much. The idea of taking away individuality and truth for the sake of a play is something I don't normally think about when I read plays. A character is an actor's interpretation of that character. Even though the Manager wanted to use the actors to play the characters, it would make been much more real for him to use the actual characters themselves. This play raises questions about out. What is more important, something beautiful or something real? The Manager did not like the ending of the play, so he was upset and didn't want to do it anymore. However, the ending was real.
