Enrico Four
Author(s): Luigi Pirandello, Robert David MacDonald
Premiered in this translation by the Citizens Theatre Company, Glasgow. In Enrico Four a man believes he isHenry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. But is he?
Pirandello’s study of perceptions has become a twentieth-century classic which invites us to consider our personal madness in offering a different face to everyone we meet.
Review(s):
“Robert David MacDonald's lucid and sensitively adapted translation brings Pirandello's grasshopper discourse into sharp focus - witty and profound” —Observer
“A cunning mouthpiece for the author's vitriolic hatred of pretence - The translation by Robert David MacDonald allows some Italian phrases to remain intact which adds colour and vivacity” —Scotland on Sunday
“A piece of exquisite and intricate theatrical craftmanship – a symphony in the Chekhov manner – many voices, many themes, woven together in a loose but distinguished pattern.” —The Observer
