Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

This is a six-legged nightmare by Franz Kafka. It is Kafka's terrifying but bizarrely comic story in a theatrically explosive new version. The ordinary, unremarkable life of the Samsas is turned upside down when their son Gregor emerges one morning transformed into a monstrous insect. As revulsion turns to resentment, strange things start to happen to the Samsa family...This work is published in collaboration with a brand new production at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith by Artistic Director, David Farr with actor/director, Gisli Orn Gardarsson of Iceland's acclaimed Vesturport Theatre. The production has an exquisite soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, striking design and jaw-dropping aerial physicality.

David Farr is a playwright, screenwriter and stage director, whose plays have been performed all over the world. He became Artistic Director of London's Gate Theatre in 1995, then at the Bristol Old Vic in 2002, London's Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, in 2005, then Associate Director of the RSC in 2009. In recent years, he has moved into film and television, working on the long-running BBC show Spooks and completing his first feature film, Hanna, for Focus Features in 2009.
