[NEohioPAL]Bodwin Theatre Presents Three One Act Plays of Luigi Pirandello May 5-7

[Bodwin Theatre Company]

BODWIN THEATRE COMPANY presents a staged reading of three one-act plays by 
Luigi Pirandello, Friday through Sunday, May 5-7.  The performances, offered 
at no charge with the support of Actor's Equity, will be held at Notre Dame 
College on Friday, May 5 and Saturday May 6 at 8:00 pm, and Sunday, May 7 at 
2:00 pm (The Great Room, 3rd Floor Main Building, Notre Dame College).  Each 
performance date includes all three of the following one-act plays:

§ THE MAN WITH THE FLOWER IN HIS MOUTH (1923) A poetic meditation of how 
love, meaning and death quietly creep into our mundane lives as two men chat 
idly at an all-night cafe.

§ I'M DREAMING, BUT AM I? (1931) Reality and dream intermingle freely as a 
woman agonizes over her lover's suspicion of her infidelity.

§ THE VISE  (1918) One of the greatest short plays of all time, a savagely 
emotional examination of the consequences of infidelity.

The plays will feature TOM CULLINAN, PETER MANOS* and SANDRA MANOS* and are 
directed by Peter Manos.

Considered by many scholars as perhaps the greatest playwright of the 20th 
Century after Berthold Brecht, Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) continued in the 
tradition of Buchner and Strindberg in exploring the psychological and 
emotional agony of man in an uncertain world. Awarded the Nobel Prize for 
Literature in 1934, Pirandello's contribution to the world of dramatic 
literature is incalculable.  In addition to authoring the pre-absurdist 
masterpieces Six Characters in Search of an Author and Henry IV, he 
influenced other dramatists including Ionesco, Pinter, Beckett, Albee, as 
well as artists such as Picasso.
