"During a Scholarship at the British School at Rome I adapted a 1935 text by Italian writer Luigi Pirandello called Treatment for Six Characters. Written over 10 years this was intended to be a precursor to Pirandello’s seminal 1921 meta-play Six Characters in Search of an Author [...] the film was to feature a fictional version of the development of his play, allowing Pirandello to explore the ethics of the creative process."
