Pirandello Three Plays: The Rules of the Game; Six Characters in Search of an Author; Henry IV - Thryft

Intellectual exploration of illusion versus reality.

If you're drawn to plays that dig into the layers of what's real and what's merely perceived, Pirandello's trio offers a captivating experience. His writing deftly navigates through the absurdities of everyday conventions and the thin lines separating sanity from madness. Each play serves as a unique lens, scrutinizing life's theatricality with wit and profound insight – a must-read for anyone passionate about avant-garde theatre and existential musings.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Piandello ranks with Brecht and Beckett as one of the foremost dramatic innovators of this century. The three plays in this volume, considered his masterpieces, are products of his theatrical obsession with the colliding of illusion and reality. Here is the absurdity of human life and its conventions in The Rules of the Game (1918); the uncertain boundary between sanity and insanity in Henry IV (1922); and in Six Characters (1921), his best known play, there is a fascinating variation on the theme of Life versus Art.Led by an introduction to Pirandello's life and work by John Linstrum, all three plays appear in recent, eminently stageable translations.
