Tonight marks the opening of MADC's theatrical season with the production of Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of An Author at the Manoel Theatre, in Valletta.

The play, directed by Marc Cabourdin, focuses on six characters who take on a life of their own because their author failed to complete the story.

The performance, which includes Colin Willis, Julia Calvert, Ninette Micallef, Wesley Ellul, Vanessa Attard, Luca Desira Buttigieg and Maxine Desira Buttigieg, is being staged today, tomorrow and on Sunday.
