The Trial by Steven Berkoff
A Stage Adaptation of Franz Kafka's "The Trial"

4 April 2024
Grade 12 Major Production
College Studio Theatre

Welcome to our production of Steven Berkoff's adaptation of Franz Kafka's "The Trial." This iconic work takes audiences on a journey into the surreal and nightmarish world of Joseph K.'s encounter with an absurd and oppressive legal system.

Berkoff's interpretation, like Kafka's original novel, explores themes of power, authority, guilt, and the individual's struggle against an incomprehensible bureaucracy. Through his distinctive theatrical style, Berkoff brings Kafka's haunting narrative to life with vivid imagery, heightened physicality, and a sense of dark humor.

In our staging, we have sought to capture the essence of Berkoff's vision while infusing it with our own creative interpretation. Through dynamic staging, evocative lighting, and intense performances, we aim to immerse audiences in the disorienting atmosphere of the story, inviting them to question the nature of justice, identity, and the human condition.
