About the Show

A play for older children based on Kafka's novel 'The Trial'.

Josie K finds herself caught up in an absurd situation, with a man in a suit wanting her to throw a custard pie at him ... sometimes adults don’t make any sense. She needs the help of her best friend Becca and all her courage to find her way out of this strange situation.

'The Trial of Josie K' is a story of defiance and the power of friendship in a world where no one has explained the rules.

This production is recommended for ages 9 – 13.
