Three Plays: 'Six Characters in Search of an Author', 'Henry IV', 'Right You Are (If You Think So!)'
Pirandello (1867-1936) is the founding architect of twentieth-century drama, brilliantly innovatory in his forms and themes, and in the combined energy, imagination and visual colours of his theatre. This volume of plays opens with ‘Six Characters in Search of an Author’, Pirandello's most popular and controversial work in which six characters invade the stage and demand to be included in the play. The tragedy ‘Henry IV’ dramatizes the lucid madness of a man who may be King. In ‘Right You Are (If You Think So!)’ the townspeople exercise a morbid curiosity attempting to discover 'the truth' about the Ponza family. Each of these plays can lay claim to being Pirandello's masterpiece, and in exploring the nature of human personality each one stretches the resources of drama to their limits.
