Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1993. Contemporary Theatre Studies is a book series of special interest to everyone involved in theatre. This collection of documents is the first attempt in English to bring together a body of material on Luigi Pirandello as multi-faceted man of the theatre. Because relatively few of his works have been easily available to English language readers, he is thought of most frequently as a playwright, the author of Six Characters in Search of an Author and Henry IV in particular, and his contribution to theatre, both in theory and in practice, has tended to be overlooked. Emphasising his role as a director, the book traces the rise and fall of his own theatre company, the Teatro d’Arte where he struggled to instil new practices and comments on Pirandello’s attempts during the years of Fascism to give Italy a national theatre in a European context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pirandello, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, is a little known to most English readers. Too few of his plays and stories have been translated. This hook, therefore, serves the double purpose of introducing the Italian genius through a summary of all his dramatic work and interpreting his accomplishments fron an artistic viewpoint. As a background for his criticism, the Domenico Vittorini shows first how Pirandello's compassionate pessimism and tragic mockery resulted from his own tortured existence and in what way his art is relates to Italian literary tradition and contemporary thought. Proceeding chronologically, Pirandello's growth is traced from the elementary naturalism of his early writing, through his more reflective plays, to the crowning achievements of later years in which dramatic situations are approached from a highly intellectualized point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Characters in Search of an Author (Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore) is an Italian three-act play written by Luigi Pirandello in 1921, considered as one of the earliest examples of absurdist theatre. It's a play within a play that deals with perceptions of reality and illusion, and plays with the ideas of identity and relative truths. The plot features an acting company who have gathered to rehearse another play by Pirandello, when they're interrupted by 6 "characters" who arrive in search of their author. They immediately clash with the manager who at first assumes they're mad. But, as the play progresses, the manager slowly shifts his reality as the characters become more real than the actors. Six Characters in Search of an Author opened in Rome at Valle di Roma and created a huge and clamorous division in the audience, forcing Pirandello to escape out the side door. But a year later it was presented in Milan to great success, before moving on to Broadway in 1922 where it ran for 136 performances.

Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, the Italian playwright, Luigi Pirandello, sought with his dark views of reality to attack conventional social codes and the bourgeois nature of Italian theater. To do so, he took elements of his personal life and combined them with the most advanced thinking that Europe had to offer and the result was world acclaim and in 1934 a Nobel Prize in Literature. Mind Plays: Essays on Luigi Pirandello’s Theater examines his efforts in terms of six of his most celebrated and most often produced dramas. Enrico IV (Henry IV, 1922) is seen in relation to aestheticism and contemporary theories of personality and insanity. Così è (se vi pare) (Right You Are [If You Think So], 1917) is viewed against new mathematical theories and relativity. Come tu mi vuoi (As You Desire Me, 1930) is weighed against modern views of moral choice. I giganti della montagna (The Mountain Giants, 1937) is discussed in relation to contemporary interests in myth, and Il giuoco delle parti (The Rules of the Game, 1918) is seen against established theories of play. The result is what may be termed a “modernist” and “international” Pirandello, who is more in tune with other contemporary figures like David Hilbert, Henri Bergson, Sigmund Freud, and Albert Einstein that commonly emerges from examinations of his work. In earlier forms, segments of the book appeared in Comparative Drama, Essays in Literature, and Modern Drama.

As the characters and the stage company struggle to resolve the ambiguity that plagues not only their existence but also their identity, conflict arises between reality and appearance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Italian playwright’s masterful comedy interrogating the meaning of madness is reimagined in this translation by the author of Leopoldstadt. In this meeting of two of the twentieth century’s greatest playwrights, Tom Stoppard has reinvigorated Luigi Pirandello’s masterpiece exploring the nature of madness and the limits of sanity. After a fall from his horse, an Italian aristocrat believes he is the obscure medieval German emperor Henry IV. After twenty years of living this royal illusion, his beloved appears with a noted psychiatrist to shock the madman back to sanity. Their efforts expose that for the past twelve years the nobleman has in fact been sane. With his mask of madness unveiled, the aristocrat launches an offensive to deflect their unwanted attention. While Pirandello’s characters verbally spar in Stoppardian flourishes, battling for the upper hand—and the greatest laughs—one question emerges: What constitutes sanity?
