“"34 Actors in Search of a Play” echoes Pirandello’s “6 Characters in Search of an Author”. I invite my viewers to join the Actors search. I identify with the Actor’s lonely wait for somebody to employ them.

The plays are hinted at in visual jokes and metaphors. For example; a man leans against a wall listening = “Noises off” by Alan Ayckbourn. A hamster works on its treadmill =The Taming of the Shrew. A full list of the plays will be given to any interested party."
