"Bentley's English versions of four of Pirandello's most celebrated plays - collected here for the first time - capture the playwright's voice with remarkable perception. He has provided texts that are the standard for American productions, sensitive both to what is uniquely "Sicilian" in Pirandello's language and to the rigors of the American stage."
