Gone With (Miss Julie)Gone With (Miss Julie)
Synopsis:
Strindberg's Miss Julie is a fiendishly difficult play, a brutal psychodrama with weighty symbolism. On a festive midsummer night, Miss Julie, a rich man's daughter, flings herself at her father's valet, Jean. Her nighttime transgression turns into the stuff of Greek tragedy, as events lead pitilessly to her death. Julie is a fertile nymph-surrounded by animals, full of emotion-but she's overripe and getting rotten. Jean, on the other hand, is a man of naked cunning, whose intelligence serves only impoverished, barren dreams of material gain. In their simple conflict Strindberg subsumes class and sex into an archetypal pattern of the struggle for power that exists between all people. With its hard naturalistic dialogue, Miss Julie is one of the most savage and horrifying plays ever written.
