Lady Julia

Book Lady Julia tickets

As the clock strikes to welcome in 2009, Lady Julia gatecrashes her father's servants celebrations. Keen on making trouble and asserting her power, sexual, confident and naive Julia finds she's playing a dangerous game as she takes on John, an embittered servant with ambitions of greatness. In a fragile time where the balance of money, power and status is tipped precariously, can he break from his path, and can Julia survive with her reputation and feelings of self importance intact? This intelligent translation of August Strindberg's Miss Julie, transports this shocking tale of seduction and power to a country estate in Kent tinged by a fragile economy, on New Years Eve 2008; whilst continuing to honour the words and the traditions of this classic drama from one of Europe's first naturalistic dramatists. Undergoing a literal translation into a modern vernacular, the focus of this production explores the conflicts and language of men and women, masters and servants, as relevant today as it was in 1885. Following the relationship between Lady Julia and her father's servant John, Lady Julia strips bare the instabilities of these characters, their aspirations and betrayals. Gabriella has endeavoured to find an approach that works for the Lady Julia cast, and releases them from the restraints of traditional directing techniques.
