Over the Summer of 2010 I worked on a version of August Strinbergs classic play "Miss Julie". The play was adapted from the original and directed by Anna Thomson, an MA Theatre Direction student at St Mary's in Twickenham. The play explores the psychology of a passionate woman - Miss Julie. At the turn of the 20th century when psychology was a new science, Strindberg focusses upon the battle between the sexes, the class war and an amazing power struggle between Jean, the valet, and Miss Julie the aristocrat's daughter. Miss Julie must fall down or be torn down (or does she fling herself?) from her ivory tower. She is compelled to sink to the lowest depths...
The play was performed for two nights in June at the Battersea Arts Centre in London.
