Ebook: Plays: Vol 1

Preoccupied with the nature of truth and delusion, and treading dangerously on the borderline between sanity and madness, Pirandello’s plays are a daring exploration of human actions and the dark motives lying behind them, and the culmination of the naturalistic school of theatre inaugurated by authors such as Ibsen and Chekhov.This volume contains some of Pirandello’s most famous plays, including Six Characters in Search of an Author, Henry IV and The Life That I Gave Thee, as well as several of his lesser-known works for the stage.
