In November, 1919 famed writer Franz Kafka composed a forty-five page typewritten letter to his father, Hermann, in an attempt to reconcile their lifelong conflicts and differences. Kafka’s letter, though highly critical in nature, was deeply personal yet also humorously self-deprecating as he struggled to find common ground with his notoriously authoritarian patriarch who ultimately never received or read it.
LETTER TO MY FATHER is Larry Cedar’s third one-man stage adaptation. His previous works, ORWELLIAN and Dostoevsky’s NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND each won awards for Best One Man Performance and Best Director of a One Man Play (Pamela Cedar) at the NoHo Fringe Theater Festival.
