Enrico IV (Henry IV 1922), written by Luigi Pirandello (1867 - 1936) and produced by the Community Players of Winnipeg, at the Little Theatre, Winnipeg, Canada, from 17 to 20 October 1928.

    Scenes from Enrico IV (Henry IV 1922), written by the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello (1867 - 1936) and produced by the Community Players of Winnipeg, at the Little Theatre, Winnipeg, Canada, from 17 to 20 October 1928, featuring W. McGuillen (left) and G. Waight.

   The only artworks that have survived to document FitzGerald’s engagement with the theatre are three drawings and a painting related to a single production. From 17–20 October 1928, the Community Players presented one of their most ambitious dramas, Henry IV, a play in three acts by the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936).
