The mortal conflict of the sexes, traced here by Strindberg in the clash between an aristocratic young woman and her valet. Ms. Stockenstrom's new translation retains the rhythm and emotional feel of the original while making the prose more playable for today's audiences.
Publishers note: This is a stage play, and not a novel. T/James Reagan has adapted August Strindberg's classic play, Miss Julie, for a new generation. Moving the setting from a Swedish estate to the office of a cable news anchor, Reagan updates the searing back-and-forth dialog, and transforms the story into an exceptionally current and unflinching take on American life at the start of 2020.In what's being described as a "pandemic play" Reagan's version of Miss Julie adds another layer to Strindberg's tale of extreme emotions and swinging moods.When it becomes clear that the coronavirus will spread rapidly across America, John, a cable news anchor, is desperate to get back on air to deliver the unfolding developments. To do this, he needs the approval of Christine, his program director, and Julie, the head of the cable news station. As the night progresses, each character confronts their fears and failures, while wondering what the future will look like. Miss Julie 2020 addresses the new complications of workplace romance, the controversial tactics used by news organizations to get attention, and the precarious balance of our public and private lives. Reagan creates a play where each character is neither hero nor villain, and the complexity of gray areas is fully explored. Ready for the stage, and demanding to be performed, MISS JULIE 2020 is the theater event of the year.

The story of the largest LSD bust in history - a notorious event which is well known throughout Britain.
Midsummer's Eve, Sweden. A night when the sun doesn't set. A night of drinking and dancing. A night to break the rules. When Julie, alone on her father's estate, gatecrashes the servants' party, she finds herself in a dangerous tryst with her father's manservant, Jean. What begins as a flirtatious game gradually descends, over the course of a long and sultry night, into a savage fight for survival. Howard Brenton brings August Strindberg's genius to life in this brilliant adaptation of Miss Julie. It premiered at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick, in 2017, before transferring to Jermyn Street Theatre, London.
August Strindberg's classic portrayals of secrets and lies, seduction and power – both written in the summer of 1888 – in brilliant new versions by Howard Brenton. Miss Julie begins as a flirtatious game between the daughter of a wealthy landowner and her father's manservant, and gradually descends, over the course of a long and sultry Midsummer's Eve, into a savage fight for survival. In Creditors, young artist Adolf is deeply in love with his new wife Tekla – but a chance meeting with a suave stranger shakes his devotion to the core. Passionate, dangerously funny, and enduringly perceptive, Strindberg considered this wickedly enjoyable black comedy his masterpiece. Both plays premiered in co-productions between Jermyn Street Theatre, London, and Theatre by the Lake, Keswick, directed by Jermyn Street's Artistic Director Tom Littler.
Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price Bored with her sheltered existence, Miss Julie attempts to seduce the footman, but gets far more than she bargained for... August Strindberg's classic naturalistic play Miss Julie was written in 1888, and first performed at Strindberg's experimental theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1889, despite being banned by the censor. This English version, translated and introduced by Kenneth McLeish, is published in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series. The volume also includes Strindberg's Preface.
Johan August Strindberg was a Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, essayist and painter.A bold experimenter and iconoclast throughout, he explored a wide range of dramatic methods and purposes, from naturalistic tragedy, monodrama, and history plays, to his anticipations of expressionist and surrealist dramatic techniques. From his earliest work, Strindberg developed forms of dramatic action, language, and visual composition so innovative that many were to become technically possible to stage only with the advent of film. This volume contains three of his most famous works: Fr ken Julie (1888), Fadren (1887) and Ett dr mspel (1907).

In the title poem of Katherine Meehan's debut collection, Dame Julie Andrews' Botched Vocal Cord Surgery and Other Poems, the poet presents an examination of losses, failures, and griefs, all of them tempered by an unusual humour. Grounded in the particularities of location, these poems wander between urban and rural spaces, from Los Angeles and Appalachia to the English home counties. Glass eels, Grendel's mother and a host of nameless 'losers' are given voice as the collection explores the tension between the futility of the speech act and its necessity.
Meet Julie: To know her is to love her. The only bad things to have happened to her are too many good things. When she walks down the street, birds call her name and the sun smiles more broadly.I do not know how you will stand her.**Hilarious, subversive, reflective, and poignant, this novel is a revolving portrait that perfectly captures the BYU single experience and the internal and external tensions faced by Latter-day Saint women.-Katherine Cowley, award-winning LDS authorReading this book is like catching an affectionate wink from the guy who sits on the back row in Gospel Doctrine class smiling to himself as he does crossword puzzles on his phone so that you think he's not listening but who always comes out with the comment that turns the discussion into something bigger, something that matters.Jepson treats his characters-these glorious, quirky, hilarious young people trying to figure out their places in the world, trying to understand their own hearts-with humor, yes, but also with a subtle tenderness, so that we recognize their yearnings.This book is as fun as a pick-up game of Pictionary, but just when you think it's all Peanut M&Ms and Twizzlers, holiness appears as if on a silver tray passed by the deacons.The ending sneaks up on you like your home teacher (minister) on a unicycle bearing mint brownies, and, like him, is sweet and surprisingly healing.The sunset our Classic Protagonist rides off into is a different sunset than she had thought she was aiming for, a better sunset, and that makes all the difference. It makes this book true.-Darlene Young, author of Here
