Luigi Pirandello, William Murray
A writer - older and trickier - brings home a girl of twenty to live with him. But as soon as life becomes too complicated and intrudes noisily into the peace and quiet of his rooms, he also attempts to remove himself, spends the rest of the play off to the side, commentating. On stage, the action unfolds slowly as if Pirandello were dissecting a living organism, arriving at the heart of the matter, which is the girl's pathetic secret - which is everybody's secret. It is widely considered one of Pirandello's masterpieces.
