A brand new adaptation of Pirandello's first play. No one has ever seen Signor Ponza's wife and her mother, Signora Frola together. Also, the neighbours have become suspicious because Signora Ponza never leaves her home and start asking questions. Ponza claims that this wife is really his second wife, the first having died in an earthquake that destroyed all records. Meanwhile his wife only pretends to be Signora Frola's daughter to humour Signora Frola, who, he claims, is insane. Thoroughly bewildered, Agazzi demands to meet Ponza's wife, who arrives heavily veiled proclaiming herself as both the daughter of Signora Frola and the second wife of Signor Ponza. Absolutely! {Perhaps} is brilliant comedy on the elusive nature of identity and reality and, like all of Pirandello's work, shows truth as subjective and relative and drama itself a mystery.Absolutely! {Perhaps} is published to coincide with the production at London's Wyndham's theatre starring Joan Plowright and directed by Franco Zeffirelli.

It's Rome 1910, and the Ponza family's tendency to swap identities shows the truth to be a highly subjective commodity. Franco Zeferelli's production of Luigi Pirandello's brilliant comedy was a West End hit in 2003 and is scheduled to open on Broadway. Luigi Pirandello achieved acclaim for plays such as Absolutely Perhaps and Six Characters in Search of an Author, winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 1934. He died in Rome in 1936.
