Part of the “Politics of the Absurd” staged reading series, featuring classic absurdist comedies that explore the absurdity and peril of our current political environment. On the morning of his 30th birthday, Josef K is unexpectedly arrested by two unidentified men from an unidentified agency for an unidentified crime. With the help of an increasingly bizarre cast of characters, K struggles to navigate the justice system and prove his innocence. What happens to a once respectable man when he’s suddenly persecuted for apparently no reason at all?
