Miss Julie & Creditors

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.
