Sher Afgan is an actor who while essaying the role of Sher Afgan once in the play Noorjahan, fell down and underwent a severe injury that affected the working of his mind. Sher Afgan, after this mishap, continues to consider himself as the Jaigirdar of 16th-century Bardhaman and goes on living in his world of imagination for the next 25 years. Pirandello, in this play, plays with the dilemma associated with one’s memory: reality and imagination, life and its contours, logicality, and illogicality, and self-identity, to mention a few. The character of Sher Afgan falls prey to amnesia and schizophrenia within the realm of his imaginative and megalomaniac world, weaved out of voluntary exile.
