Product Description
In this meeting of two of the twentieth century's greatest playwrights, Tom Stoppard has reinvigorated Luigi Pirandello's masterpiece of madness and 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 removed, the aristocrat launches an offensive to deflect their unwanted attention. While Pirandello's characters race linguistically about in Stoppardian dervishes, battling for the upper hand-and the greatest laughs-one question emerges: What constitutes sanity? ... Read more

Product Description

Marcantonio Ravì has a plan: to give his beautiful daughter, Stellina, in marriage to the elderly but hugely wealthy Don Diego Alcozèr. Justifying his decision to appalled family and neighbors, he encourages the lazy Pepè Alletto to take a longer view—in only a few years, following Don Diego’s death, a younger, more suitable husband can be found. Stellina herself is bitterly opposed to the marriage, fainting at her wedding party; and events spiral further out of control when Pepè’s bullish lawyer brother-in-law becomes involved.

3-0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but subtelties lost on a theatre novice
Adapted for a 90-minute production, Enrico IV is a quick read that is rewarding although lacking in comparison to other great plays.We are offered a brief glimpse into the world of an (apparently very wealthy) Italian nobleman who has taken on the role of the 11th century Holy Roman Emperor Heinric (Henry, Enrico) IV.The role begins as a psychotic episode initiated by a horsing accident and continues as his madness fades and `Enrico' chooses the role over what he views as the absurdity of reality.Pirandello offers other themes as well in this short study: the nature of actor versus character, reality versus illusion, and the place of psychology in a world that prefers madness to rationality.

This adaptation appears to have been developed for theatre and students of theatre.Although I enjoy theatre, I am not a student of the form and therefore claim under-appreciation through ignorance.As it stands, the conclusion seems obvious and no character seems as powerful as `Enrico.'I would have also enjoyed the deleted historical exposition concerning the alternate reality chosen by `Enrico.'Are there actual similarities between the historical figure and the actor?Did the historical figure possess characteristics the actor wished to see in himself?

Overall, this appears to be a `must read' for students of theatre based on other reviews, but merely a `pleasant read' for everyone else.Quick and entertaining, but lacking the explicit depth of some of the better-known plays.

5-0 out of 5 stars Pirandello's Art: A Kingly Paradox
Enrico IV (Henry IV), is probably Pirandello's second most known play, right behind his immaculate Six Characters In Search of an Author. The play takes place in the "throne room" of a man who thinks he is Enrico IV (the Holy Roman Emperor) ever since he fell off a horse at a masquerade party.His friends and former lover return with a doctor and try to cure him of his insanity.They humor him at the beginning, then they try to find a way to resolve his mental problem.Eventually Enrico reveals that he is indeed not insane, but regresses (voluntarily?) back into his mask of playing Enrico IV.This play beautifully presents Pirandello's common themes and contains a beautifully operatic ending just as I expect from the Italian master.I recommend this book for any Theatre, English, or Comparative Literature student.This edition and translation of the book leave out a lot of useless historical references and create a very clean reading of the play.I highly encourage you to read Pirandello, anything and everything you can find, he is truly a genious of the theatre. ...

Product Description
Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) is best known in the English-speaking world for his radical challenge to traditional Western theatre with plays such as Six Characters in Search of an Author.. This book argues for the centrality of the character in all of Pirandello's writings - novels, short stories, and essays as well as plays. It explores the different ways in which his fictional and dramatic characters struggle to sustain an identity of their own, tell their life-stories, and assert themselves before their most prominent antagonist, the author himself. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Pirandello at his best with some of his early works.
All four plays contained in this volume represent the quintessential Pirandello: poetic, humoristic, the ever present Pirandello theme:the certainty of the uncertainty.Also important to note is"Grafted" - one of his early works which was never translatedinto the English language before."The Other Son" also importantsince it was made into a movie in the late 70's (part of a trilogy)- a filmabsolutely worth watching for any Pirandello fan. ...
