Key Points
  • A modern and sensual 'Miss Julie' production is running at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern
  • The play explores class dynamics as a prison and curse, but feels dated
  • Symbolic plot elements include poison for puppies and meat for Jean

Another 'Miss Julie' in an updated and sexy version is now playing at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, according to major media reports. It is midsummer, and according to both Shakespeare and Strindberg, it is a night when most of us can go completely crazy. The production wallows in sugar dirt to techno music, as described by Dagens Nyheter.

Critical analysis suggests the class perspective becomes a prison and a curse in this production, and it feels strangely dated, according to major media. In lust, we are all equal, a theme highlighted in the play. Specific plot elements include the poison decoction bubbling on the stove again, which Kristin prepares to kill the puppies that Miss Julie's dog Diana is carrying after meeting the gamekeeper's pug, and on another plate, there is a piece of meat for Jean.

The critical reception or audience reaction beyond these two reviews is unknown, as are details about the director, cast, creative team, and how long the production will run at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern.
