About After Miss Julie
Miss Julie is a young woman in her 20s that has been taught by her mother to never concede power. She is also forced to exist in a world where she is forced to consider the expectations from society. All these opposing influences seem to confound her. They have ultimately surfaced as she breaks off an engagement because her fiancé refuses to take part in a harmless, but humiliating request that would make him more her trained pup than her husband.
John is a servant who once left the estate to travel the world and find his place, only to end up back where he started, serving the family. He has lofty ambitions to rise in the social stratosphere and open his own hotel, but lacks the financial means to do so.
After Miss Julie has a third character as well. Christine is the house cook and John’s fiancé. Their relationship at times hints at being more an arrangement of convenience for the two. She is happy with her place in life and has found devotion for God that has given her the peace John and Miss Julie desperately search out.
The play, written by Patrick Marber was originally a screen adaptation of Miss Julie transported through time and set on the small screen on BBC Two in 1995. Eight years later the play reached the stage at Donmar Warehouse in London. Though the production had a limited run from November 20, 2003 to February 7, 2004, it received high praise.
This teleplay turned play is set to make its Broadway debut at the American Airlines Theatre in the fall of 2009 for a limited engagement. Mark Brokaw will direct Sienna Miller in her own Broadway debut. The production begins its preview run on September 18, officially opens on October 22, and will end on December 6.
