Sex and power dominate Strindberg’s scandalous masterpiece.
Miss Julie longs to escape the ties imposed by her position as the daughter of a Count. One midsummer night she embarks on a turbulent affair with her farther’s manservant, Jean, and finds herself caught in a desperate struggle.
In Miss Julie, Strindberg explores what draws men and women together, and makes them want to destroy each other.
Miss Julie is directed by Stephen Unwin, Artistic Director of the Rose theatre, Kingston.
The production, which is suitable for aged 14+, plays at the Rose as part of the Behind Closed Doors season, alongside Bedroom Farce.
