In the Penal Colony

Join us in Wadham’s Kafkaesque Moser Theatre for Wadham College Drama Society’s new production. In the Penal Colony is a strange tale of torture and suffering. The play revolves around a conversation between the resident Officer and visiting Explorer on a far-flung penal colony. The Officer wishes to preserve the punishments that were formally a ‘feature’ of his way of life, refusing to abandon his fiendish and diabolical machine. Part fantasy and part allegory, Steven Berkoff’s adaptation of Kafka’s short story is a timely and relevant look at injustice.
