In his electrifying new adaptation of August Strindberg s "Miss Julie," Neil LaBute, provocateur of the theater as much as Strindberg himself, transports the classic play of power, class and seduction to an estate on Long Island s Gold Coast just before the stock market crash of 1929. Against a glittering jazz-age backdrop, mistress of the house Julie and ambitious servant John face off in a gripping, night-long encounter. As the balance of power shifts often and dangerously -sometimes with exquisite subtlety, sometimes stark brutality- LaBute masterfully reinterprets Strindberg s timeless erotic struggle between a man and a woman. This thrilling, essential "Miss Julie," which had its world premiere at the Geffen Playhouse in 2013 with Lily Rabe as Julie, Logan Marshall-Green as John, and Laura Heisler as Kristine, superbly embodies both the passionate spirit of the original and the unflinching style of Neil LaBute."

Against a glittering jazz-age backdrop, mistress of the house Julie and ambitious servant John face off in a gripping, night-long encounter. As the balance of power shifts often and dangerously---sometimes with exquisite subtlety, sometimes stark brutality---LaBute masterfully reinterprets Strindberg's timeless erotic struggle between a man and a woman. This thrilling, essential Miss Julie, which had its world premiere at the Geffen Playhouse in 2013 with Lily Rabe as Julie, Logan Marshall-Green as John, and Laura Heisler as Kristine, superbly embodies both the passionate spirit of the original and the unflinching style of Neil LaBute.

Review:

"A connoisseur of unsettling emotion . . . LaBute's psychological terrain is the punishing slippery slope of ambivalence. In his hands, this bedeviling state of spiritual stasis comes with a distinctive sound, a sensational hemming and hawing, which poetically betrays the mind boxing clever with itself." --John Lahr, "The New Yorker"

"LaBute's view of modern men and women is unsparing . . . He is holding up a pitiless mirror to ourselves." --Jacques le Sourd, "The Journal News"
"Neil LaBute is the most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today." -David Amsden, "New York"
"Like Harold Pinter, Mr. LaBute understands language as power." -Ben Brantley, "The New York Times"
