Miss Julie (Methuen World Dramatists) (Modern Plays)

Miss Julie (Methuen World Dramatists) (Modern Plays)

by August Strindberg (Author), August Strindberg (Author), Helen Cooper (Translator)

Synopsis

Miss Julie is Strindberg's masterpiece, written at the height of his powers as a dramatist. It treats sexuality and human struggle with a frank realism previously unknown in the theatre. This volume also includes Strindberg's Preface to the play. Helen Cooper's taut, contemporary stage version, which premiered in London in 1990 at the Greenwich Theatre, 'is fiercely faithful to the play's transfixing contradictions' (Independent) and 'marvellously brisk and demotic' (Time Out).
