The Trial, by Franz Kafka

In The Trial, guilt comes first. The crime comes later.

Franz Kafka’s masterpiece follows Josef K., a man arrested without explanation and drawn into an endless bureaucratic labyrinth where accusation becomes identity and justice remains out of reach. Equal parts psychological thriller and existential nightmare, The Trial asks what happens when the systems meant to protect us become impossible to understand.

Presented as an intimate theatrical experience, Christopher Paul Meyer’s adaptation draws audiences into Kafka’s world of shifting authority, unsettling humor, and quiet dread, where every conversation feels like testimony and every answer leads to another question.

Come expecting a trial. Leave questioning the verdict.
