As the sun sets on Midsummer’s Eve, servants and aristocrats alike revel in the merriment. Songs are heartily sung, and wine flows freely as Miss Julie, a beautiful young aristocrat, and Jean, her father’s valet, enter a dangerous yet thrilling duet of gender politics and class divisions.
Once banned for almost fifty years, Strindberg’s sexually charged, bitter, and provocative play examines the ever-shifting power dynamics between two very different people from two very different worlds. Seductive and spiteful, Barefaced Theatre’s debut performance of Miss Julie offers a raw, visceral adaptation of a renowned classic.
