Len Jenkin's surrealistic comedy uses Franz Kafka's story "Ein Landarzt" as a point of departure to explore his personal life and literary works. "The central journey in A COUNTRY DOCTOR - Kafka's physician anxiously pushing through a raging blizzard to reach a dying patient - keeps overtaking the other travelers, giving them nightmares. The visceral treats of the piece are many and fine. Makes you want to stick your thumb out and hop aboard for the wild ride." -New York Post "Jenkin, over the course of the play's seventy-five minutes, give us virtually the entire Kafka short story in sequential fashion. And he turns the story into a comment on modern man's existential condition through the Guest, and most interestingly, on Kafka's own psychological-sexual torment as reflected in his writings. It's an intellectual-literary tour de force of amazing density." -Star and Tribune (Minneapolis) Less
