Enrico IV

San Francisco American Conservatory Theatre brings to the stage the rarely produced 20th-century classic 'Enrico IV', by Nobel-prize winning playwright Luigi Pirandello. Enrico is an unnamed Italian nobleman in 1922 who has either lost his mind or is pretending to be mad. 20 years earlier, he was knocked unconscious at a costume ball where he was dressed as the 11th-century King Enrico IV. When he awakes, he really believes himself to be the medieval ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. He walks the fine line between lunacy and lucidity for two decades before the woman he once loved arrives on a mission to cure him.
