Including their Christmas offering – a  comedy reimagining of Dracula written by Mock the Week creator Dan Patterson and Artistic Director Jez Bond – Park Theatre has announced four new shows.

Following the success of previous livestreams, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, and Sonnets & Carols, the latest reading, directed by Caron Hall, will be streamed live from Sands Films Studios, Rotherhithe on Saturday 31 July at 7.30pm (BST).

Miss Julie returns to London wearing the outstanding threads previously seen in Tom Littler's production at Jermyn Street Theatre in 2017. The new run plays in rep with Creditors, the other August Strindberg-Howard Brenton endeavour presented by the company and acts as an echo chamber for the thematic veins of the other.

Variety reports that Emma Thompson will lead “Extinction,” a satirical short film that includes footage of the Extinction Rebellion's continuing action in London. Thompson has been involved in such protests. 

In the summer of 1888, bankrupt and at his wits' end, August Strindberg and his family rented rooms in a ruinous Danish castle called Skovlyst. The castle was also occupied by a young aristocratic woman, her corrupt steward, and a menagerie of exotic animals. That summer, Strindberg wrote two masterpieces of world theatre: his intense tragedy Miss Julie and dark comedy Creditors, the play he regarded as his finest.

Directed by Jermyn Street Theatre's own artistic director Tom Littler, Miss Julie is revived in an effortlessly visceral new production.

When Howard Brenton's new version of August Strindberg's seminal work Miss Julie received its world premiere at Theatre by The Lake this Summer, it garnered rave reviews. This November the production, directed by Tom Littler, is premiered in London at Jermyn Street Theatre.

I was 12 years old when I first picked up a copy of Strindberg's Miss Julie. I'm glad I didn't understand subtext at that age, but I'm eternally grateful that my mother casually left a copy lying around the house. From then on I was determined to play this zany, frenetic, iconic human.

In a major shift of artistic policy, Tom Littler today announces the relaunch of Jermyn Street Theatre as a producing theatre as he reveals his first season as artistic director.

Dry Land was greeted with ecstatic reviews and queues around the block when it premiered at the Here Arts Center in New York a year ago. The production prompted revered New York Times critic Ben Bradley to award it a glowing five star review in which he described the work as 'tender, caustic, funny and harrowing, often all at the same time'. Nominated for the prestigious Susan Blackburn award and heaped with praise, the 21 year old Ruby Rae Spiegel was named a 'fearless' writer who could expect a glittering career ahead.
