PIRANDELLO'S WIFE
Quiet, passive, obedient, a wonderful mother to her children and perfect wife to her Nobel Prize winning husband. Then, when it was time, she was locked away in an insane asylum for the final 40 years of her life. Here, she attempts to tell her story. https://pirandelloswife.com/
And what of her? A figure shifting noiselessly in the background. A wife who endures three difficult childbirths, the last of which paralyzes her for several months. As she attends to home and children, she grows increasingly suspicious of her husband's infidelity.
Those concerns is ignored. Instead, her husband accuses her of “gelosia suprema" (excessive jealousy) a genetic trait supposedly inherited from her father. “Nature” wins out over “nurture.” As a result, she spends the last forty years of her life in an asylum for the insane.
Here, in the asylum, she attempts to tell her story: the lived-life experiences of a relegated woman. But the bombastic, self-important Direttore of the Institution supports and demands the more the positive image of her husband and the continued marginalization of his wife. The Direttore writes another script. The result is confusion: a joyous, farcical disintegration—with serious and deadly consequences.

Julianne Moore
I love to explore and write, in serious and comic forms, stories of those who, through choice or happenstance, find themselves strangers in a strange land (or even in their own land).
