Description "First produced in 1921, Luigi Pirandello
astounded performers and audiences across
Europe and elsewhere with this problematic
Pandora's box of a play. Laurence Strangio's production sidesteps the stuffiness of 90 years of translations, 'redactions' and 'adaptations' and explores both the reality and the theatricality of Pirandello's ideas in the immediate context of La Mama Theatre."
