Lidless Theatre returns to Park Theatre with the revival of Strindberg’s masterpiece, after two sell-out runs of Philip Ridley’s Leaves of Glass.
Sweden. 1888. Midsummer’s Eve.
It’s hot, the sun isn’t going to set, and the flowers are in full bloom. While The Count is away, the servants dance through the night. Amidst the festivities is Miss Julie… wilder than the rest.
As she descends into the servants’ quarters, a battle for power and dominance between her, and her father’s valet, will eventually become a fight for survival.
Grippingly funny and beguilingly dangerous, Miss Julie examines sex, power, gender and class in the midst of the midsummer heat.
