Original Playwright - Luigi Pirandello
Synopsis:
Actor Richard McMillan is Henry, a man of enormous wealth and privilege, who believes he is the eleventh-century Holy Roman Emperor and German King Henry IV. A fortress is built and actors are hired to carry out his fantasy. But is he mad or are we? Adapted from Luigi Pirandellos Enrico IV, Kilroys version transports Pirandellos main character into twenty-first-century Hollywood with sensationally dramatic results.

Notes:
Oscar Wilde. Lord Alfred Douglas
Synopsis:
Constance Wilde is allowed, for once, to steal the spotlight from Oscar's decline and fall, in a play that translates her own tragedy into a stylised emotional investigation. A silent faceless chorus in pin stripes poses for every episode of her disillusionment forming part of a striking visual language which aims to bring alive the overpowering emotions that allowed her both to condemn and to forgive her husband.
Rachel Hallibuton, Evening Standard
