Kafka's Metamorphosis
Gregor Samsa's life is dominated by routine until he awakes one morning to find himself transformed. Starring Tom Basden.
Gregor Samsa's life is dominated by routine - the monotony of his busy commute, mindless call centre job and crowded tower block home is steadily taking its toll.
Then one morning Gregor awakes to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As he attempts to master life with six legs, his family must also learn to live with his new look.
Writer Alan Harris gives Franz Kafka's classic a modern twist with a darkly comic edge.
