| Summary | "Maschere: Dramma in un atto" by Roberto Bracco is a one-act play likely written in the late 19th century. Set in Naples, it revolves around themes of tragedy and family dynamics, particularly focusing on the impact of a woman's suicide on her husband and daughter. The story unfolds in a modest salon, embodying the struggles and emotional turmoil of its characters. The play begins with the aftermath of a woman's suicide, as various characters, including her husband, Luigi Palmieri, attempt to piece together the events leading to her tragic decision. As they navigate questions of guilt, infidelity, and familial bonds, Luigi grapples with the shocking revelation that his wife, Gilberta, was pregnant at the time of her death. Tension mounts as suspicions arise surrounding her relationship with Paolo, Luigi's close friend and business partner. Through confrontations and revelations, the play delves into the complexities of love, betrayal, and the overwhelming burden of societal expectations, ultimately culminating in a haunting reflection on loss and the lengths one might go to preserve their family's honor.
