Caligula

by Nike Redding, Isabella Egizi and Tom Corradini

Frank Wilkinson, an American professor of ancient history, is being treated in a psychiatric ward following a severe psychotic episode. In the grip of hallucinations, he is convinced he is the Emperor Caligula. Aided by a clown nurse and an autistic musician, Frank relives the rise and fall of Rome's most notorious emperor: a man who began as a populist servant of the people and ended as a narcissistic tyrant. A tragicomedy blending physical theatre, clown and live music.
