The Last Days of Franz K, with Toby Jones and Julian Rhind-Tutt

After a sell-out performance at this year’s Hay Festival, we’re pleased to announce the second and final London date for an evening of readings and music marking the centenary of Kafka’s death.

Inspired by the ways the LRB’s writers – from Alan Bennett to Patricia Lockwood, Rivka Galchen to Adam Phillips – have thought about Kafka over the years, and the publication of the first complete, uncensored English translation of his diaries.

With readings by Toby Jones, who needs no introduction, interspersed with music from Max Richter’s album The Blue Notebooks – itself inspired by Kafka’s journals – performed by the celebrated organist and pianist, James McVinnie.

Just announced: Julian Rhind-Tutt completes the line-up!
