Midsummer night's celebrations are in full swing but the Count's daughter, the beautiful and imperious Miss Julie, feels trapped and alone. Downstairs in the servants' kitchen, handsome and rebellious footman Jean is feeling restless. When they meet a passion is ignited that soon spirals out of control. Strindberg's masterpiece caused a scandal when first produced - and has been hugely popular ever since - for its viscerally honest portrait of the class system and human sexuality.\u003cbr\u003eThe conflict between sexual passion and social position is presented in \u003ci\u003eMiss Julie\u003c\/i\u003e with startling modernity. The play's premiere at Strindberg's experimental theatre in Denmark in 1889 was banned by the censor and its first public production three years later in Berlin aroused such protests that it was withdrawn after one performance. \u003ci\u003eMiss Julie\u003c\/i\u003e has since become one of Strindberg's most popular and frequently performed plays.\u003cbr\u003eThis new version by highly-acclaimed playwright and translator David Eldridge is contemporary but faithful, and combines accessibility with fluency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e August Strindberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Plays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 4.90w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408172759","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43311293628553,"sku":"9781408172759","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_c0a4dfea-d759-4924-a63a-8abdfdfabfb1.jpg?v=1738051081","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/miss-julie-9781408172759","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
