On the morning of his 30th birthday, Joseph K wakes to find he’s been arrested. He has no idea what he’s done wrong, but he’s determined to clear his name.

As he tries to make sense of his situation, and to out manoeuvre the authorities who threaten his freedom, Joseph K is brought face to face with the dark heart of the terror state.

Award-winning writer and comedian Tom Basden creates a contemporary reworking of Kafka’s classic novel about one man’s fight against an invisible law.

This Gate theatre production of Joseph K is a world premiere.
