The three handed play Miss Julie written by
August Strindberg has been adapted by Alan Litsey bringing it up to
date and also relocated in the American deep south and is performed
with zest and no mean talent by Birmingham Southern College Theatre
from Alabama.
Now set in the home of a wealthy family on
the fourth of July, Julie, played with passion by Kate Jenkins, is
the beautiful, rich bitch, crazy daughter of the house. Kristin, the
much put upon family maid, Amanda Kramer and her boyfriend, trailer
trash musician with a past John, portrayed by Mac Smith are the
other two performers.
At the party Julie makes a play for John,
because she can and her attentions are not rebutted but him, but
does he have an ulterior motive? Who is Julie’s stalker? Is
Kristin as mild as she seems?
The answer to these questions can be found
by going to see this superb interpretation of an engaging play, but
be quick the show only runs until the 11th.
