Aurora Theatre Opens Strindberg's Classic MISS JULIE 4/3
The celebrated Mark Jackson (Salome) returns to bring his unforgettable style to August Strindberg’s classic and controversial chamber play. Miss Julie is the volatile daughter of a count. During the intoxication of a midsummer’s eve celebration, she flirts shamelessly with one of her servants and seduces him, thus beginning an erotic dance of sexual politics and class warfare.
Written in 1888, Miss Julie remains a masterwork. Bruce Weber of The New York Times has called it “an amazing play that still terrifies with its insoluble equation of sex, class and death.” Miss Julie influenced Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire as well as countless other 20th-century dramas.Miss Julie will be performed from April 3, 2009 - May 10, 2009.
