Alan Bennett - The Insurance Man

'Given that Alan Bennett's screenplay for A Private Function (d. Malcolm Mowbray, 1984) turned postwar rationing into full-blown Kafkaesque paranoia, it comes as little surprise that he would turn to the novelist himself as a subject. In fact, he did so twice: his play Kafka's Dick (a rather more overtly comic portrait) was also staged in 1986.

It's not so much Franz Kafka who is the subject of The Insurance Man (BBC, 23/2/1986) as what he created - poor Franz (no relation) is caught up in a web of bureaucratic complexity that readers of The Trial will recognise immediately as he tries not just to get compensation for an industrial injury but also to establish whether he's even entitled to it.'
