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.
