1921.
The world is changed after the Great War.
Anything seems possible now.
Miss Julie, heiress to a stately home, is searching for an escape. John, her servant, is dreaming of a brighter future. When a May Day party throws them together, tensions sizzle. But are the old hierarchies really over?
Strindberg’s controversial classic is given a modern twist.

Critic Reviews of Missing Julie
‘Gripping take on Strindberg simmers with tension… a sophisticated and exact vision’
Gareth Lyr Evans, Guardian
'The social inequalities laid bare by the pandemic are at risk of being maintained in its aftermath. Missing Julie signifies that this is a moment when we can do something about it'
Gareth Williams, Whatsonstage
Gripping theatre that captures and holds the attention. It is a thoroughly worthwhile return to live theatre’
Richard Evans, Theatre Review North
‘Stylish, steamy and tightly wrought’
Nigel Smith, The Stage
