'MISS JULIE'

By August Strindberg

A new version by David Eldridge



It is 1894 and a Midsummer night's celebration of wine and beer lets loose inhibitions and inner passions. Miss Julie, the Count's daughter, feels trapped and alone. Downstairs in the servant's kitchen, Jean is feeling restless. When they meet a passion is ignited that soon spirals out of control.

>>> Kristin, the young cook and Jean's fiancé, brings with her the moral attitudes and beliefs of her class. So when she discovers that all might not be as it seems how will she react?

>>> Strindberg's masterpiece caused a scandal when it was first produced and has been hugely popular ever since. It is a searingly honest portrait of the class system and human sexuality when compelling emotions know no bounds. Come along and be engrossed throughout until the final fateful scene.
