Miss Julie
Synopsis
Saffron Burrows, Peter Mullan, Maria Doyle Kennedy.
Brilliant acting illuminates this masterpiece of love and humiliation across class boundaries. In a battle of wills between the count’s beautiful daughter (Burrows) and his footman (Mullan), love and tenderness, but also anger, hate and feelings of inadequacy alternate in a superbly effective and faithful interpretation of Strindberg’s drama.

Critics
“A superb translation of the play, bitingly relevant, mesmerising, sexy”
