Miss Julie by August Strindberg
Directed by Tasha Spear
Stream August 12, 13, 14

After a broken engagement, Miss Julie has descended into a fit on Midsummer Eve, and as usual, Jean and Christine are there to pick up the pieces. But what if she has shattered into too many pieces this time and one terrible mistake leads to a new level of desperation? Miss Julie is a timeless classic that asks us to examine our own thoughts about social class, gender norms, and love through the eyes of three seemingly unequal characters. And it might all be a game to some; but to others, it’s life or death.

The Greek comedy produced in 414 BCE follows Pisthetaerus, a middle-aged Athenian who persuades the world’s birds to create a new city in the sky to be suspended between heaven and earth. The city is built, and Peisthetaerus and his bird comrades must then fend off the undesirable humans who want to join them in their new Utopia. This fantastical comedy is one of Aristophanes’ greatest comedies that also comments on the imperialistic dreams and impending decline of Athens.
