Berliner Kabarett Trial, TheBerliner Kabarett
Synopsis:
Place: Berlin, Germany; a small cabaret theatre. Time: between the two World Wars. the democratic Weimar Republic has been established in the wake of Germany's humiliating defeat. But the allies' punitive reparations have left the economy in shambles, the people depressed, resentful, quick with a bitter quip, in desperate need of escape. For many, the cabaret provides the balm they seek. For those who seek a return to that time at turns nostalgic and surprisingly, even disturbingly current, the In Series' music-filled cabaret show at Source theatre will put you there at the drop of a fedora.

Synopsis:
on Joseph K.'s thirtieth birthday, two boorish guards arrest him. they can't tell him the charge - they don't know themselves - but they do haul him before an inspector who barks a series of meaningless questions at him before releasing him without explanation. thereafter, his upcoming trial hangs over him like a thundercloud. He is hauled before a magistrate, where he gives an impassioned speech, proclaiming his innocence on all conceivable charges and vilifying a system of justice which could imagine he might be guilty of something. (at the end, the magistrate dryly informs him you have waived your right to interrogation. ) at the insistence of his uncle, Joseph K. employs a lawyer - a great scholarly man, full of unverifiable promises and huge windy utterances, some in Latin. In desperation, Joseph K. engages the services of the court portraitist, who promises not to secure an acquittal (apparently no one is acquitted outright) but to perpetually delay the outcome of his trial, so that he is never convicted.
