Pirandello in Canada

[Ric Knowles]

Hi,

It would be difficult to be a playwright these days without SOME
influence, direct or otherwise, from Pirandello, but the only one I know
of who has publically acknowledged the influence is John Krizanc, who gave
a talk on the topic at some point several years back. THe play of his
where the influence is clearest is *Prague*.

Hope this helps,

Ric
