According to the Daily Mail, the ensemble is set for Nick Gill's adaptation of Franz Kafka's THE TRIAL at the Young Vic this summer.

As previously announced, Rory Kinnear stars as 'Josef K' in the play, directed by Richard Jones and running June 19 through August 22, 2015.

Also in the cast are Sian Thomas, Richard Cant, Charlie Folorunsho, Kate O'Flynn, Hugh Skinner and Neil Haigh, with designs by Miriam Buether.

THE TRIAL tells the story of a man arrested and prosecuted for an unknown crime. Josef K's 30th birthday begins with a knock on his door from two sinister agents. They're from an unidentified agency, here to arrest him for unidentified crimes. But this is no birthday prank -- this is life or death. So begins K's dark descent into a waking nightmare of bizarre humiliations and compulsive procedures.

Kinnear last appeared onstage in his own play THE HERD at The Bush. He won an Olivier for his performance in 2008's THE MAN OF MODE and 2014's OTHELLO at the National. The actor is well known for his role as 'Bill Tanner' in the James Bond films QUANTOM OF SOLACE, SKYFALL and the upcoming movie SPECTRE. He just appeared in the TV adaptation of J.K. Rowling's THE CASUAL VACANCY and stars in PENNY DREADFUL Season 2.
