Little Miss Julie

In the kitchen of a Gilded Age New York City mansion, a young heiress, her father’s valet, and the household cook descend into a violent night of power, passion, and destruction in this bold new twist on Strindberg’s classic. Moved from Midsummer’s Eve in Sweden to Independence Day in New York City, our story unfolds on the Fourth of July, 1886—the year Lady Liberty spent the holiday cloaked with scaffolding—a beacon of freedom yet to be unveiled. Strindberg shocked audiences with the original—this new one-hour version harbours the same dangerous spirit, pressing against the tragedy’s core tension with every breath: freedom demands structure, order becomes its cage, and destruction waits at every door with open arms, parted lips, drenched in the sweet scent of release.
