Already known thanks to the translation of some novels and The Late Mattia Pascal, Pirandello began his involvement in French theatre with the 1923 performance of Six Characters in Search of an Author, which was directed by Georges Pitoëff. This chapter recounts Pirandello’s fortunes in France and explores their mediation by translator Benjamin Crémieux, who helped bring the writer’s works to French readers and theatregoers. However, Pirandello’s success began a downward arc in the late 1920s due to several factors, including overexposure and French critics’ accusations of excessive cerebralism. Although Pirandello’s plays continued to be performed, they received progressively less favorable responses. The 1934 Nobel Prize, however, brought the playwright back into the limelight, and he was celebrated and applauded in January 1935 at the staging of Tonight We Improvise by the Pitoëff Company.
