Alan Bennett is one of the country's wittiest and most wickedly perceptive contemporary playwrights: and here he does not disappoint! It is 1919 and the dying Kafka tries to convince Max to burn his writings after his death. Max does not and goes on to publish all Kafka's work. Over sixty years later in a suburban sitting room, Sydney, a Kafka-besotted insurance agent, his frustrated wife and elderly father are more than a little surprised when a dead but lively Max appears, closely followed by Kafka and Kafka's larger-than-life father!

This production promises a lively and entertaining start to the New Year.
