REVIEWS

Adapted from Luigi Pirandello's Enrico IV, Kilroy's version transports Pirandello's main character into twenty-first-century Hollywood with sensationally dramatic results

" ... a flashy theatrical tour-de-force, an artfully layered construct of illusion and memory, madness and insight ... a richly melodramatic spectacle imbued with philosophic speculation" ~ Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
