The Trial

Story of a bank clerk trapped in a maze of absurdities. One morning, Joseph K is informed that he is under arrest. He is not accused of any particular crime, but is set on a comic course of shame and horror.

In this comic and gripping reimagining of Franz Kafka’s The Trial, from Proper Job Theatre and Chris O’Connor, we explore the world of big data, public shaming and the nature of guilt. This satirical, absurdist take on today’s world will have you laughing and terrified in equal measure, and ultimately the very idea of justice is put on trial, with all of us in the dock.
