Tom Basden's darkly comic adaptation of The Trial relocates Kafka's classic novel to 21st-century London. On his 30th birthday, Joseph K has his sushi takeaway intercepted by two strangers who inform him he is under arrest. Unaware of what he has done wrong, he is determined to clear his name. Tapping into the zeitgeist of personal liberty, justice and control, the play ridicules and questions the meaning of freedom in the present political climate.

This is dark humour. If you are looking for something amusing but with a bit more substance than the knockabout stuff this could be the one for you. Chazza

Superb production with an exceptionally strong cast. Extremely prescient in these troubled times. The lead is particularly strong.
