JULIE

About the show

Fuelled by desire, repressed by expectations, caged by society — Julie is desperate to break free. Stumbling into the kitchen on the night of her 21st birthday party, Julie seeks out her father’s employees John and Christine. As one room becomes a battlefield of class and sexual politics, a reckless flirtation becomes a merciless contest sending all three people hurtling towards destruction. Director Rebecca Frecknall brings her acclaimed contemporary adaptation of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie to the Old Vic in her first production as Associate Director. Following its world premiere at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam, this compelling thriller of lust and ruin stars Milly Alcock in the title role.
