Three Major Plays by Luigi Pirandello
A trio of interrelated stage works probes the porous boundary between fiction and reality, the instability of identity, and the elusive nature of truth: one play stages an unfinished set of characters who invade a rehearsal to demand an author and thereby expose theatrical artifice; another centers on an aristocrat whose assumed or real madness forces others to confront who he really is and what role social convention plays; and the third depicts a small town’s fractious, often contradictory debates about a family’s private life. Together, the plays use irony, dark humor, and metatheatrical devices to show how performance and perspective shape—and sometimes replace—what people accept as truth.
