		Franz Kafka’s “The Trial” (a Broadway musical preview) K., a dark haired, mysteriously handsome man with suspicious eyes, is being taken away from his apartment by LOCAL AUTHORITIES. (Note to composer: bouncy, upbeat, yet somewhat sinister piano). K.’s Neighbor: Joseph K., your only name what do you have in store? K.: I’m being held captive by the law but I do not know what for In a politely formal tone I’ve asked repeatedly, “What gives?” but I’m none the wiser of the hows and whys they’d rearrange the life a simple man lives (rearrange the life a simple man lives) (Short piano solo and return) K.: This puzzles me and strikes me as disturbing Warder: Quiet you! Take comments to the Court of Inquiries they’ll see what they can do Chorus (offstage): So K. was left to wonder had a hearing the next week then at that time, poor Joseph K. was hardly let to speak! (Oh!) (Musical interlude, while in the rear corner, stage left we see a PRETTY WOMAN WITH WEBBED HANDS taking a bath listlessly. FADE LIGHTS to switch to Joseph K. sitting at home looking gloomy).
