After Miss Julie

by Patrick Marber, August Strindberg · 1996

+ Want to read

A new version of a world classic by one of Britain's best-known contemporary playwrights. After Miss Julie- by Patrick Marberre - locates August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888) to an English country house in July 1945. In this radical re-imagining of theatre's first "naturalistic tragedy" the events of Strindberg's original are transposed to the night of the British Labour Party's "landslide" election victory.
