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: 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?

Book excerpt: "The three plays in this volume are considered his masterpieces and they are seen constantly on the stages of the world. 'Six Characters in Search of an Author' deals with a family of six who show up at a theater rehearsal asking that someone validate them by utilizing their lives in a play. 'Right You Are (If You Think So)' is about the morbid curiosity of a town's population to discover the "truth" about the Ponza family, a task they find to be frustratingly impossible. 'Henry IV' concerns the nature of reality and delusion in the mind of a man who may be a king, but then again, maybe not. Pirandello is as current and topical today as he was when he wrote, and almost every theater innovation in play-writing that has come after him owes its existence to his vision of the impossibility of knowing anything for certain."-- from publisher's description.
