Theatre: "Henry IV"

In this modern classic of 20th century drama, Luigi Pirandello depicts the compelling story of an Italian aristocrat who suffers amnesia after a severe fall in an equestrian escapade. He wakes up thinking he is Henry The Fourth of the German Holy Roman Empire. Modern psychiatry bursts violently into this world of masquerade and illusion when his friends permit a less-than-expert psychologist to conduct a peculiar "shock treatment" involving medieval portraits that transform themselves into living figures, an experiment that invites unforeseen disaster.
