The Life I Gave You by Luigi Pirandello
Translated by FREDERICK MAT with Rachel Gurney , Sheila Allen and Kathleen Helme
I know that God cannot die in every one of his creatures that dies. And you cannot tell me that my child, the creation of my body, is dead. Instead you tell me that God has taken him back unto Himself ... You should tell me that God wants my son to continue to live for me! ' .
The action takes place in Donn' Anna's lonely villa in the Tuscan countryside in the 1920s.
Produced by CHARLES LEFEAUX
Sheila Allen is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company See page 32
