Naked Masks: Five Plays

Luigi Pirandello

4/5 ( ratings)

This special one-volume edition features five great plays by one of the most celebrated and fascinating dramatists of the twentieth century.

The editor, Eric Bentley, is an international theater authority. In addition to the Introduction and the biographical and bibliographical material in the Appendices, Mr. Bentley has prepared for this volume the first English translations of the play Liol� and Pirandello's important "Preface" to Six Characters in Search of an Author.

Included Plays:
Liol�
It Is So!
Henry IV
Six Characters in Search of an Author
Each in His Own Way
