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.
“Miss Julie is an indictment of the societal norms we all uphold, even at the expense of our most vulnerable or charismatic. We lose a lot when we all stay in the middle, and this play interrogates that cost without offering any easy answers,” shares Randle-Bent. “Set over the course of a Midsummer’s Eve—when the sun never sets and it feels like anything is possible—Strindberg’s classic contains limitless possibilities, and I could not be more excited to work with this cast of Mi, Kelvin, and Rebecca to bring Miss Julie to life.”
