MISS JULIE

One of theater's most controversial plays gets the Arrow treatment in a gripping new adaptation of Strindberg's classic. A tense and unflinching negotiation plays out over the course of a Midsummer evening in the kitchen of a country manor house in Sweden. Highborn Julie and her father's servant drink, dance, and destroy each other before the magic spell of the festival evening breaks. 

​

Miss Julie was presented at Everwood Farmstead in August 2020 in a socially distanced semi-staged reading. Miss Julie was developed in part at an artist retreat at Everwood Farmstead in 2019.
