What happens when you are accused of something you don't understand, by a system that refuses to explain itself?

 

Based on Franz Kafka's groundbreaking novel The Trial, Tom Basden's darkly comic adaptation follows Josef K., who wakes one morning to discover he has been arrested. Nobody will tell him why, there are no clear rules, and escape seems impossible. As he desperately searches for answers, he encounters a bizarre cast of characters who claim to understand the system but offer no hope of justice.

 

Darkly funny, visually striking and physically inventive, Joseph K explores power, identity and conformity in a world that makes little sense. A surreal and thought-provoking theatrical experience.

Winner of the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a wildly funny, heartwarming and wonderfully entertaining musical.

 

An eclectic group of six young spellers compete for the championship of a lifetime. As they battle their way through increasingly challenging words, they reveal hilarious and sometimes touching stories about family, friendship and growing up. With a fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, a brilliant book by Rachel Sheinkin and plenty of audience participation, this is a musical full of comedy, surprises and heart.

 

Six spellers enter. One speller leaves! And at least the losers get a juice box.
