After he is knocked off his horse during a masquerade, a man loses his mind and remains locked in a castle for the next 20 years believing he is the medieval emperor Henry IV. A troupe of actors collude in this delusion daily, until one day he receives a visit from the woman he once loved and a psychiatrist determined to cure him. But who is sane and who is mad? And what is madness anyway? A new adaptation of Shakespeare's great history plays- two and a half hours of fast paced action. Kings and nobles, rogues and vagabonds, princes and paupers all collide in a performance of energy and vitality. Oxford Triptych theatre returns once again to the OFS Studio with actors drawn from all over Oxfordshire to present a new-minted classic.| 16 Mar 10 to 20 Mar 10 | OFS Studio (previously known as Old Fire Station Theatre) Oxford, Oxfordshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
