Photo Flash: First Look at Theatre by the Lake's MISS JULIE

Theatre by the Lake's Summer Season continues with MISS JULIE by August Strindberg in a new adaptation by Howard Brenton, featuring Charlotte Hamblin (Miss Julie), James Sheldon (Jean) and Izabella Urbanowicz (Christine). The production runs now through 3 November, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Midsummer's Eve, Sweden. A night when the sun doesn't set. A night of drinking and dancing. A night to break the rules.

When Julie finds herself alone on her father's estate, she throws caution to the wind and gate-crashes the servants' party. In the sultry heat of that long, light night, she finds herself in a dangerous tryst with her father's manservant, Jean. What begins as a flirtatious game, as the two vie for power, slowly descends into a savage fight for survival.

Miss Julie was written at a time of industrial and social unrest, a ground-breaking masterpiece that still provokes and shocks audiences today. Award-winning playwright Howard Brenton brings Strindberg's genius to life in this brilliant new adaptation. The production transfers to London's Jermyn Street Theatre following its run in Keswick.

Directed by Tom Littler and designed by Louie Whitemore, with lighting designer Jo Town and composer and sound Designer Max Pappenheim.
