A revival of Patrick Marber’s After Miss Julie Comes to Park Theatre

A revival of Patrick Marber’s 2003 adaptation of the classic Strindberg play, After Miss Julie places the title character in 1945 on the eve of Labour’s historic landslide victory. Julie is daughter of a powerful MP, and her disastrous forbidden fling with her father’s chauffeur, John, becomes the battleground for social commentary on class, gender, and manipulation. Taking place in the kitchen of an English country house, where class boundaries begin to blur amid the changing social order, Julie, John and the cook he is engaged to, Christine, enter into a tense battle of power and control. Driven by desire, ambition and shifting social roles, the brutal love tragedy careers towards its inevitable conclusion leaving betrayal and tragedy in its wake.
