A drama of desire and jealousy, this scintillating play brings the concept of 'revenge' tragedy intriguingly into the twentieth century. The eternal triangle, as played out by Leone, Guido and Silia, has a chillingly unexpected ending. The play was performed to great acclaim, with Richard Griffiths playing Leone, at the Almeida Theatre in 1992.

Author · 54 books
Luigi Pirandello; Agrigento (28 June 1867 – Rome 10 December 1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer whose greatest contributions were his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his almost magical power to turn psychological analysis into good theatre. 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.
