| Written in 1888 by August Strindberg, Miss Julie is a tragedy and deals with issues of power and control. Set on an intoxicating midsummer night, a Count’s daughter, Julie, in an attempt to escape an existence cramped by social mores, indulges in a flirtatious contest for power with an attractive manservant, which quickly escalates into a physical relationship. The free spirited Julie loves and battles with equal measure, her chauvinistic lover. The play throws up issues of class and gender that are debated even today - a century after Strindberg’s death - giving it a contemporary ring. | ||||||||
