Metamorphosis

I first saw the work of James Thierree at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith. Their current production is well worth a visit too. Kafka's Metamorphosis adapted by the Lyric's Artistic Director David Farr and Icelandic theatre company Vesturport is on until 2 February. Photograph by Eggert Jonsson.

The story of Metamorphosis is an early favourite of mine and this Penguin book dates from 1964. The cover illustration is by Yosl Bergner.
