Franco Zeffirelli directs. Joan Plowright and Oliver Ford Davies
star in Absolutely! (perhaps)
A comedy by LUIGI PIRANDELLO
In a new version by MARTIN SHERMAN This dreamlike and hilarious
play will leave you wondering whether to trust your own eyes. There
are enigmatic newcomers in town: the dark, intense, ‘Ponza’,
his shy, rather eccentric mother-in-law ‘Signora Frola’;
and his reclusive young wife. No one understands their bizarre living
arrangements. Everyone has a different theory as to the truth -
and no one will countenance any other explanation. No one, that
is, except for the wry and elegant ‘Laudisi’. He mischievously
offers to establish the truth - and takes delight in his neighbours'
growing frustration as they watch: “fantasy and reality dancing
together, rather gracefully in fact - and suddenly you can't tell
the difference between them”.
