Description

A collection of plays from Luigi Pirandello, the founding architect of twentieth-century drama. This volume includes his most popular and controversial work, translated from the Italian by Mark Musa.

The plays showcase Pirandello's innovative forms and themes, as well as the combined energy, imagination, and visual colours of his theatre. The collection opens with "Six Characters in Search of an Author", where six characters invade the stage and demand to be included in the play.

Each play explores the nature of human personality and stretches the resources of drama to their limits. This Penguin Classic represents a significant contribution to the world of drama, offering a unique perspective on the human condition.
