STAR RATINGS GUIDE

Kafka's Satirical Gem

THE BIRDICT

💗 I love the absurdity of this work. It is such a clever way of expressing the sinister nature of authoritarian regimes and how impossible it is to fight that sort of power.

SQUAWKING THE TALK

🎧 Dick Hill is one of the most prolific narrators in the business and this is yet another excellent performance. His voice takes on what I can only describe as an old-timey quality; a sort of reedy Madmen style. And yet he manages to convey so much, both through tone and timing.

The Trial

THE BLURB

The Trial by Franz Kafka is one of the great novels of the 20h century. Josef K. is an ordinary man who is arrested on his 30th birthday. He is prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, yet the nature of his crime is never revealed to him. One year after his arrest he is executed. His last words describe his own death: "Like a dog!"
