Synopsis
Midsummer's Eve, Sweden, 1888. The Count's daughter and his valet cross social and sexual boundaries; and must face the consequences. While the servants' party continues in the barn outside, aristocratic Miss Julie is drawn to the kitchen and to the socially ambitious Jean, her father's valet. What starts as a harmless flirtation, soon descends into a ferocious power struggle and battle of the sexes, from which neither can escape.

Theatrically speaking, is there anywhere like south-east London at present? From Waterloo Bridge to Greenwich, there are now ten different venues, offering varying degrees of theatrical fare. Amazing!
So I went with high hopes for Stonecrabs' Miss Julie at the Greenwich Playhouse, situated in the `forecourt' of the local station. Initial impressions were favourable. The dusty theatre I'd visited many moons ago turned out to have been completely revamped and repainted. The adjacent pub seems smart and efficient. The augurs looked set fair.
Alas, they wgoere unfulfilled. For while Stonecrabs have been steadily acquiring a fine reputation for themselves under director Franko Figueiredo (their last production Mishima's Sotoba Komachi and the Damask Drum earned a Critics’ Choice selection), Miss Julie turns out to be a disappointment, albeit a creditable one.
Miss Julie, arguably Strindberg's most ...
