After Miss Julie, 2006, After Miss Julie

"We are delighted to announce that GEST's inaugural production of ‘After Miss Julie’ by Patrik Marber was completely sold out for the entire run and received excellent reviews in all of the major Göteborg newspapers.  After Miss Julie ran from 19-28 April 2006 at Hagateatern.
'After Miss Julie' is a new ‘version’ (and not a translation) of August Strindberg’s world classic Miss Julie (Fröken Julie). It is written by one of Britain's best-known contemporary playwrights Patrick Marber (‘Closer’, ‘Dealer’s Choice’)
‘After Miss Julie’ relocates ‘Miss Julie’ to an English country house in July 1945.
The celebrations for the Labour Party's election victory are in full swing. Freed from the mantle of the Second World War, Britain is celebrating and change is in the air for the wealthy Miss Julie, her father's chauffeur, John, and Christine, the cook.
As the drink flows and the music plays, a passionate midsummer night turns to tragedy, as Miss Julie and John test the limits of their new freedom
Partick Marber pays homage to Strindberg's original, bringing with it his trademark wit and sharp dialogue." [GEST:s hemsida]
