«Pirandello Three Plays» is the theater volume by Luigi Pirandello that brings together three plays, published by Methuen Drama in paperback (240 pages, in English).
It brings together «The Rules of the Game» (1918), «Henry IV» (1922) and «Six Characters in Search of an Author» (1921), three plays about the clash between illusion and reality. In the first, a separated couple maintains a visiting protocol; in the second, a man believes he is Henry IV; in the third, six characters interrupt a rehearsal and demand an author.
It belongs to the World Classics collection and includes an introduction by John Linstrum and translations by Robert Rietty, Julian Mitchell and John Linstrum.
For readers interested in modern theater and the great playwrights of the twentieth century.
Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer most noted for his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art". Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.
