Whaf's What Here ? Truth Not Concrete Or Specific According to Pirandello’s Play The truth cannot always be obtained by asking questions, be cause the truth is not always a specific, concrete fact, i Or at least, that’s what Luigi Pirandello says in hisiiontc drama “Right You Are (If You Think So), which the Lnner sitv TTeaS will present Feb. 2.3,7, 8. and 9. Frederick J. Hunt er. new to Oregon this year, will direct the Pjay* Pirandello’s play, written eany in this century, concerns the gos sip In a village about a newcom er who rent^ a nice apartment for his mother-in-law, but lives with his wife in a tenement across town. The mother-in-law is never al lowed to see her daughter, she may only visit her, and speak to her from the courtyard of the tenement, while the daughter re mains in her fifth floor apartment. The only other contact between mother and daughter is a letter a day, lowered and raised five, stories in a basket. The daughter never leaves her room, the husband doing all the shopping. In addition, the husband visits his mother-in-law each day.! The neighbors, a curious lot, wish to call on the mother-in-law, but she refuses to receive them. When she is finally forced to meet with them, she is given a third degree, and tells her story of why the strange relationship exists. /I U1UUIVHUJ -- in-law leaves the company, the son-in-law enters and tells his story; which. contracdicts that of his mother-in-law. The bewildered, and even more curious, company, is then re-visited by the mother in-law who tells a third story. Each person, by this time, has declared the other insane, at one time of life. The company brings the two to gether, face to face, but learns nothing, only creating a violent scsnc. They finally decide to get the truth by calling in the daughter and wife. When this lady makes her appearance in the final scene and gives her answer to the ques tions, the play ends.
