Absolutely! (perhaps)

Absolutely! (perhaps) is a dreamlike and hilarious play leaving 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. Martin Sherman adapts this comedy by Pirandello, and marks the return of the legendary director Franco Zeffirelli to the London Stage after a 25 year absence. Joan Plowright stars.
