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 this illusion but today a plot is being hatched to shock him out of this 'madness' and into the 21st century. Pirandello's 'Henry IV', in Tom Stoppard's new version, premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in May 2004.
