Patrick Marber's "After Miss Julie" is not a translation of
Strindberg's classic, "Miss Julie" but a version of it, moving the
action from the original nineteenth-century Sweden to the England
of 1945 - specifically to the 26th July, the day of the British
Labour Party's "landslide" election victory. Miss Julie is the
daughter of an aristocrat who, drunk after a party, flirts with her
father's chauffeur John and sets in train a series of events that
lead to tragedy. Class suspicions and resentments, the erotic
collusion of antagonists, the struggle against repressive social
mores - all feature in this sharp, tense drama which combines
Strindberg's original vision with Patrick Marber's own consummate
skill in drawing believable and psychologically astute characters
whose every word has point and deadly meaning. It was set in the
period of 1945.
