Synopsis

A fantastical “Kafkaesque” journey through time and space.“TIME IN KAFKA is a playful, luminous trip … Len Jenkins’s 90-minute fantasy about a young scholar so in love with the work of Franz Kafka that he imagines the famous writer’s spirit has appeared to tell him the whereabouts of a lost manuscript.

What ensues is a poetic and often hilarious meditation on the mystical connection between writer and ardent — part dream reverie, part time travel and often mesmerizing theater …” —Martha Heimberg, Turtle Creek News“TIME IN KAFKA is full of literary allusions, but it doesn’t feel much like the work of its eponym, Franz Kafka.

It’s more like Thomas Mann on psychedelics.”

—Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News“‘Time in Kafka is always broken.

Every moment leads back to itself.

Chronological and eternal.’ The opening (and closing) lines for Len Jenkin’s new play TIME IN KAFKA could not be more concise in their description of Kafka and the play itself, a fun romp …” —Jennifer Smart, Pegasus News“… one surprise after another … a vibrant celebration.”

—Christopher Soden, Arts & Culture Magazine
