Blackeyed Theatre Company, in association with North Devon Theatres and South Hill Park
The Trial
adapted by Steven Berkoff from the novel by Franz Kafka
directed by Ella Vale
Monday 5 & Tuesday 6 March, 7.30pm
Joseph K, an estranged and rootless citizen, is the victim of anonymous governing forces beyond his control. Deceived by authoritarian power, he is relentlessly hunted down for a crime that remains nameless. Finding himself arrested and awaiting trial, K sinks deeper and deeper as he tries to escape through twists and turns that are at once shocking, thrilling and funny.
More than forty years after its first performance, Steven Berkoff's brilliant adaptation of Franz Kafka's masterpiece has become a classic work of twentieth century theatre and a widely studied syllabus piece. Kafka's universal parable about the human condition is retold in Berkoff's startlingly original, fresh and endlessly surprising play, which Blackeyed Theatre brings back to the stage in their inimitable way.
Kafka's nightmare vision and Berkoff's crackling script meet Blackeyed Theatre's trademark ensemble-style physical theatre and live music to create an inspiring and unforgettable piece of theatre.
