After Miss Julie

Patrick Marber relocates August Strindberg’s play, Fröken Julie – a benchmark text in naturalistic theatre – to the events to the humid evening of 7 July 1945. The inhabitants and staff at a large English country house – belonging to a Labour peer – celebrate the party’s landslide General Election victory which marks Winston Churchill’s departure from office.

Meanwhile, below stairs, the mistress of the house sets in motion a sexually-charged battle of wits between herself and two servants which forms the basis of both a brutal love story and a battle for supremacy informed by the trappings of the class structure at a moment of significant societal change.
