Kafka's Monkey
Based on 'A Report to an Academy' by Franz Kafka, Adaptation Colin Teevan
Young Vic presents Kathryn Hunter's astounding performance as Red Peter, the Ape. Adapted by Colin Teevan
Esteemed members of the Academy! You have done me the great honour of inviting me to give you an account of my former life as an ape.
Imprisoned in a cage and desperate to escape, the ape-man reveals his rise through the ranks of the beasts to become a walking, talking, spitting, smoking, hard-drinking man of the stage.
Kathryn Hunter plays the ape in Kafka's witty and heart rending tale of forced assimilation into an alien culture.
Captured live at Young Vic, London, April 2009
