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.
