Widely regarded as one of the most controversial, yet most important plays ever written, August Strindberg’s Miss Julie never fails to ignite the senses. Sex, lies and class, on a mid summers eve- the Counts daughter and a mere servant, their ambitions lead to an intriguing struggle for power and escape.
5 Pound theatre is proud to present the Australian premiere of Craig Lucas’s modern adaption- keeping the plays avant-garde feel alive, more than a century after it was written. This is a play that is truly not to be missed.
“An amazing play that still terrifies with its insoluble equation of sex, class and death”
-Bruce Webber, The New York Times
"Craig Lucas' mission in adapting Strindberg's Miss Julie was to remove the fussy Victorian attitudes that have hampered previous translations and are not faithful to the original. He has succeeded admirably in this new version."
-Victor Gluck, Backstage
