The Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis - A Play is a dramatic adaptation of Kafka’s surreal novella, first published in 1915, about a man who finds himself transformed one morning into an insect. Gregor Samsa initially hopes that his state of metamorphosis is a temporary one and concentrates on attempting to get up and start his day, despite his monstrous body. Gregor Samsa, until now a travelling salesman and the able provider of the indebted family, suddenly becomes a useless burden on the petit bourgeois household – now under threat of social decline due to his metamorphosis.
