When a group of old friends and film industry insiders visits a secluded Hollywood estate, they expect nostalgia, not a reckoning. The eccentric former star at the center of it all? A faded screen legend named Reginald Henry, who lives out his days under the spell of a centuries-old delusion. Due to a horse stunt gone terribly wrong, Reginald Henry suffered a breakdown during filming and has since come to believe he is the character he was playing - the 11th-century German emperor named Enrico IV.
But was this madness brought on by a fall… or is it a carefully maintained performance? As a new generation of visitors arrives, secrets unravel, roles shift, and the line between performance and reality begins to blur.
What begins as a well-intentioned intervention turns into a surreal, biting, and often hilarious exploration of roleplay, regret, and the masks we wear. As artifice and truth entwine, everyone in the room is forced to confront the roles they’ve accepted… and those they’ve desperately tried to forget.
Enrico IV is a darkly comic reinvention of Pirandello’s classic, reimagined with a twisted Tinseltown gleam—where every costume conceals a truth, and every truth is dressed for the camera.
