In the Penal Colony Plays The Young Vic July 11-23

A ShiberHur production- In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka and adapted by Amir Nizar Zuabi runs 11 - 23 July The Maria

Last year Amir Nizar Zuabi's compelling and provocative I Am Yusuf And This Is My Brother sold out its entire run. Now, Zuabi and his groundbreaking Palestinian company ShiberHur return to the Young Vic with a dramatic retelling of Kafka's terrifying fable of violence, alienation and injustice.

Far away in a remote prison camp, a man unaware of his crime is about to be strapped into an elaborate execution device. The Executioner shows no mercy but will The Visitor intervene?

Amongst the cast is one of Palestine's most distinguished actors Makram Khoury (Munich, The West Wing). This UK premiere forms part of Arab arts festival Shubbak: A Window on Contemporary Arab Culture.
