Product Description
Against a glittering jazz-age backdrop, mistress of the house Julie and ambitious servant John face off in a gripping, night-long encounter. As the balance of power shifts often and dangerously―-sometimes with exquisite subtlety, sometimes stark brutality-―LaBute masterfully reinterprets Strindberg’s timeless erotic struggle between a man and a woman. This thrilling, essential Miss Julie, which had its world premiere at the Geffen Playhouse in 2013 with Lily Rabe as Julie, Logan Marshall-Green as John, and Laura Heisler as Kristine, superbly embodies both the passionate spirit of the original and the unflinching style of Neil LaBute.
Customer Reviews
I've always loved this play and have often wanted to direct it. I saw a great production at Circle in the Square in the early 80s, and have tried to find a script that would retain the original brilliance of the writing but make it accessible to a contemporary audience. This one comes close. Still could come off a bit melodramatic if not handled carefully by competent actors and directors (not that melodramas can't be fun).
