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 Enrico IV, Kilroy�s version transports Pirandello�s main character into twenty-first-century Hollywood with sensationally dramatic results

� ... 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� ~ Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
