A reconstruction of the final years of Franz Kafka
Written by MICHAEL FOSS
With KENNETH CRANHAM as Kafka
On Tuesday 3 June 1924, Dr Franz Kafka, a writer in German who used to live in Prague, died in Kierling Sanatorium, near Vienna. Here in Prague very few people knew him, for he was a hermit, a man of insight who was frightened by life. He was shy, timid, gentle and kind, but his books were cruel and painful.' (KAFKA'S MISTRESS, MILENA)
With TIMOTHY BATESON, CHARLOTTE CORNWELL, HILDA SCHRODER, JAMES BRYCE, JAMES KERRY, MICHAEL BILTON and BRETT USHER
Directed by MAURICE LEITCH
