Starting from 1954, Enriquez was also very active on television, specializing in adaptations of stage works, notably Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Antony and Cleopatra.[1][2] In 1961, he co-founded the successful and critically acclaimed theatrical company "Compagnia dei quattro" ("Company of the Four") with Valeria Moriconi (with whom he started a relationship that lasted until his death), Glauco Mauri and Mario Scaccia.[1] He later became artistic director of the Teatro Stabile di Torino and then of the Teatro Stabile di Roma, and in 1968 he co-wrote with Franco Cuomo and directed one of the first Italian works inspired by the Protests of 1968, the drama play Discorso per la lettera a una professoressa della scuola di Barbiana e la rivolta degli studenti ("Speech for the letter to a teacher from the Barbiana school and the students' revolt").[1]
Diagnosed with severe liver dysfunction, Enriquez died on 30 August 1980 at the age of 52.[1]
