Sanity and madness vie for control in Pirandello's Henry IV, as reimagined by Tom Stoppard. The title character isn't the eleventh-century German monarch, however-he's an Italian aristocrat who thinks he's the ruler after receiving a head injury. Hidden away by relatives for twenty years, "Henry" has been allowed to lead the idyllic existence of a king. But when his family comes to cure his madness, the resulting chaos will shatter his haven and have everyone questioning who is truly sane. Directed by nimbus co-Artistic Director Josh Cragun.
