Miss Julie
August Strindberg’s Miss Julie is a confrontation of class, gender, and desire at the turn of the twentieth century that’s as relevant today as when it was first written.
Miss Julie wants to abandon her upper-class, aristocratic life and escape the expectations that trap her. Jean, her servant, wants to climb the social ladder and rise through the ranks of society. Over the course of a wine-soaked evening, the two jockey for position, using sex, status, and strategy to collide and combust.
Senior Artistic Producer Gabrielle Randle-Bent directs one of Strindberg’s most celebrated works, interrogating the limitations of politics and position and the tension between who we are and who we want to be.
