The Trial

The Trial by Franz Kafka. In this existential play Joseph K. seeks in vain the answer to questions concerning his victimization, persecution , imprisonment and final death. It is a grim caricature of the nameless, formless, inchoate march of modern society towards the suppression or abolition of the individual. Directed by Fred Engelen in 1960 at the Little Theatre, Cape Town.

The Trial (German: Der Prozess or Der Process) is the title of a number of stage adaptations of the novel by Franz Kafka. See: Der Prozess
