6 Characters in Search of an Author

I was just reading Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author, and it struck me as very WOLP like, in a much more serious tone. Have any of you read that play?

I've heard of it--it sounds interesting, but I haven't read/seen it.

The full text is available online (which is where I just read it). If you're interested (and have some free time) I can post a link.

Yes, I'd like to see that--not that I have free time, but hey, I never do!
