MIES JULIE

BY YAËL FARBER
ADAPTED FROM THE PLAY MISS JULIE BY AUGUST STRINDBERG
DIRECTED BY SHARIFFA ALI

Yaël Farber’s fierce adaptation of Strindberg’s MISS JULIE resets the classic play to a farmhouse in the Karoo of South Africa on the evening of the annual Freedom Day celebration. When the white Afrikaans landowner’s daughter, Julie, falls for her father’s charismatic Xhosa farm laborer, John, their erotic evening together erupts into a brutal battle fueled by gender, race, power, and ancestral domain.

“An introduction to [Strindberg’s] complex and uncomfortable world”
-Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“Both plays are true to Strindberg’s dark vision of human interaction”
– Raven Snook, Time Out New York

“SUPERCHARGED!
So physical that it verges on dance… deeply sensual. THE LEADS ARE SUPERLATIVE!”
– Rollo Romig, The New Yorker on MIES JULIE
