Pensaci, Giacomino!

by Luigi Pirandello

"Pensaci, Giacomino!" by Luigi Pirandello is a comedy written in early 1916. An elderly, underpaid Sicilian professor devises an unconventional revenge against the state: he marries his young pregnant student, offering to support her, her child, and her lover under one roof. This scandalous arrangement defies social conventions and provokes outrage in their small town. As gossip intensifies and outside pressures mount, the fragile household faces a crisis when the young father attempts to escape his responsibilities for a more respectable life.
