Everyman Theatre will premier this new play by Cardiff writer Mark Jenkins. Mark is best know for writing PLAYING BURTON and ROSEBUD ( about Orson Welles).
After the puiblication of A Madman's Defence, Swedish dramatist August Strindberg spent the period from April to September 1888, with his family on an extended holiday in a rundown castle in Skvolyst-at-Lyngby in Denmark. This is the setting for the drama-six short months in a Gothic castle, where Strindberg's marriage to the long-suffering countess Baroness Siri Von Essen (an accomplished professional actress),finally breaks up as he writes one of the great defining masterpieces of modern theatre-MISS JULIE. All the events and persons depicted in this (at times ) farcial nightmare are historically verified and accurate,however outlandish they may appear.
THIS PRODUCTION IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PATRONS UNDER THE AGE 16 AS IT CONTAINS SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE AND STRONG LANGUAGE.
11th to 15th May at 8.00pm.
