Abstract

Abstract: Antonio Gramsci’s contributions have engaged scholars for nearly a century, sporadically favoring topics such as literary criticism and theater. This article examines his critique of Luigi Pirandello’s theater and the direct impact of artistic and cultural elements on the success of a play. Gramsci’s reviews for Avanti! along with Quaderni del carcere will demonstrate the evolution of his conception of success, which is denoted by pragmatic elements of dramatic execution, set forth for playwrights, directors, actors, and audiences alike. His opinion on Pirandello’s productions will reveal a mix of mild criticism and resigned approval, despite the playwright’s international fame.
