Review: AFTER MISS JULIE, Park TheatreFebruary 14, 2026War is over. The Labour Party has won a historic majority and will form a government anchored by socialist principles (fancy that), the NHS about to be born - and financed. The world was turning upside down and, so too, was the humble kitchen of the not so humble manor house of a peer who took the new government’s whip.

You tell yourself again that it’s ridiculous. But then you check, and the world falls back into order.
