The magnetic performance that won David Tennant "Best Actor" at the inaugural Â鶹Éç Audio Drama Awards for his part as Franz Kafka. Murray Gold's play starts from the suitably Kafkaesque premise that Franz Kafka finds he has to play himself in a musical about his own life. The play - or is it the musical? - introduces Kafka and the audience to some of the key characters in his life, Milena Jesenska, Dora Diamant and Felice Bauer. Franz Kafka .....
