The Man Who Thought He Was King is an age-old Quixotic and Shakespearean tale of a man in the modern day who believes that he is a Shakespearean King, and the Reporter who interviews him and comes to a startling realization about himself.
A reporter and investigative journalist named Julian Augustine decides to interview a Quixote-like man who believes he lives in a Shakespearean world. In the process of obsessively reading Shakespeare's works, he suddenly believes that he is a Shakespearean King. As the interview progresses, lines get blurred and the reporter begins to see himself in the King.—Adam Kiss
