Miss Julie, by August Strindberg. A new version by David Eldridge. From a literal translation by Charlotte Barslund. The Count's beautiful daughter, Miss Julie, feels trapped and alone, while his handsome and rebellious footman, Jean, feels frustrated with his position. In the course of an evening, a passion is ignited that soon spirals out of control. Strindberg's 1889 masterpiece which caused such a scandal when first produced that it was banned, is now hugely popular for its viscerally honest portrait of the class system and human sexuality.
