The Great Conjurer

Drawn loosely from Franz Kafka’s life and writings, Christine Simpson’s The Great Conjurer depicts the struggle of K, a character forced to choose between a life that his parents wanted him to live — career, marriage, security — and the art that wanted to have life. This new play, commissioned by Fluid Motion Theater & Film, features a multi-ethnic cast and portrays a universal story about beauty, love, and sacrifice in the pursuit of something great. Kevin Bartlett directs.
