Luigi Pirandello's tragicomedy, set among the Italian upper ciass in 1918. The main characters are an impulsive young woman, the lover she exasperates and the husband she has made a cuckold of. What sets this triangle apart is the husband's cynical view of life as a game played by arbitrary rules-and his self-proclaimed role as an unemotional observer.
