Marber’s re-imagining of Strindberg’s brutal sensual love story is an emotional roller-coaster ride which sees ambition, sex and class battle for centre stage. Strindberg’s original was described as a naturalistic tragedy, but the characters’ struggle between their own desires and societal constraints is at once both comedic and tragic. Marber cleverly emphasises this by moving the setting from 19th century Europe to the night of the 1945 Labour Party victory with all the expectations of radical social change. You will be consumed by the destiny of each character, the passion, the seduction, the obsession www.aftermissjulie.co.uk
