STEVEN Berkoff’s striking theatrical adaptation of Kafka’s classic novel The Trial is being performed at the Trestle Arts Base in St Albans next Wednesday, February 16.
Portraying a world where justice and freedom seem strangely elusive, The Trial begins with the arrest of bank clerk Joseph K in his bedroom one morning for an unspecified crime and follows his attempts to discover why this occurred and how he can acquit himeself.
Joseph K finds himself alternating between despair and frustration as it becomes increasingly clear that the law with which he is attempting to grapple is a thing of myth, rumour and supposition.
Combining physical theatre, Brechtian-style staging and live music, it can be seen at the arts base in Russet Drive at 7.30pm. Tickets are �10 with concessions �8 and a family �32, available from the box office on 01727 850950 or go to www.trestle.org.uk
