Living Pictures Productions presents a new translation of Strindberg's Miss Julie by Rayna Weisteen.

Set at the turn of the 19th Century, Strindberg's classic tale deals with the struggles of class, love and lust.

Midsummer Eve night, on the estate of a Count in Wales, a young woman, Miss Julie, is attempting to escape an existence cramped by the social constraints of the time... she provocatively dances with some of the men at the servants' annual Midsummer Eve party and in particular, Jean, her father’s footman. Midsummer Eve night is known for its madness…Jean and Miss Julie go too far…there is no turning back.

This exciting new production features a new translation, a choir singing live each night and will be performed in English and Welsh. It will be directed by Living Pictures Joint Artistic Director Robert Bowman (Bristol Old Vic, Bath Theatre Royal and RSC) and stars Rayna Weisteen (Joint Artistic Director Bastionen Theatre, Malmo, Sweden), Rhydian Jones (S4C) and Sian Summers (Sherman Cymru).
