Editors' note: The play does not have an ecological theme, but is part of the Young Vic's Classics for a New Climate, investigating approaches to making more ecologically sustainable theatre, in collaboration with Julie’s Bicycle. The goal is to reduce the amount of electricity used from the national grid by 50% in the production of the show.
Miss Julie, Strindberg's cruellest love story, is re-imagined by playwright Patrick Marber. After Miss Julie is set in England, July 1945, at the time of the Labour Party’s landslide election triumph, victory in the class struggle and celebrations in every street. Miss Julie descends into the servants’ kitchen of her father’s country mansion in search of the chauffeur, John. Over one long midsummer’s night, Miss Julie’s world is over-turned.
