Julie

Julie is a contemporary version of August Strindberg's Miss Julie. On the night of her 21st birthday party, Julie stumbles into the kitchen and seeks out her father's employees, John and Christine. As the room becomes a battlefield of class and sexual politics, a reckless flirtation turns into a merciless contest that sends all three hurtling towards destruction. The production was first staged at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and runs for about 1 hour 50 minutes with no interval.

Milly Alcock, known on screen for House of the Dragon and Supergirl, plays the title role in her Old Vic debut. The adaptation and direction are by Rebecca Frecknall, the Old Vic's Associate Director, whose Olivier Award-winning productions include A Streetcar Named Desire, Summer and Smoke and Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. A tense, modern take on a classic drama of desire and power, led by one of the screen's rising stars.
