Synopsis

Actor Richard McMillan is Henry, a man of enormous wealth and privilege, who believes he is the eleventh-century Holy Roman Emperor and German King Henry IV.

A fortress is built and actors are hired to carry out his fantasy.

But is he mad or are we?

Adapted from Luigi Pirandello s , Kilroy s version transports Pirandello s main character into twenty-first-century Hollywood with sensationally dramatic results.

Press Reviews

"…a flashy theatrical tour-de-force, an artfully layered construct of illusion and memory, madness and insight…a richly melodramatic spectacle imbued with philosophic speculation."
