Description

An Italian nobleman falls from his horse during a pageant. When he comes round, he believes he’s the medieval German Emperor, King Henry IV. For twenty years he lives in the illusion but today a plot is being hatched to shock him out of this ‘madness’ and into the twenty-first century.

Pirandello’s HENRY IV, in Tom Stoppard’s new version, premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London.
