Description
A darkly comic stage adaptation of Kafka's classic novel, this book relocates The Trial to twenty-first century London. On his thirtieth birthday, Joseph K has his home-delivery intercepted by two unidentified men who inform him he is under arrest.
With no idea what he's done wrong, Joseph K is determined to clear his name. This adaptation brings Kafka's complex and thought-provoking story into the modern era, exploring themes of bureaucracy, identity and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
A gripping and humorous exploration of the human condition, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Kafka's work or contemporary drama.
