Mies Julie

Mies Julie is an adaptation of the classic play Miss Julie by August Strindberg set in a post aparthied Karoo farmhouse. The play involves Miss Julie, a farmer's daughter; John, a labourer; and Christine, John's mother who brought them both up. The plot unfolds over a night in the farm's kitchen and the tumultuous clash between Mies Julie and John. The production becomes a gritty and harrowing piece that touches on major concerns of South Africa today. A Baxter Theatre and State Theatre production. Report by Thomas Mills & Julie Campbell
