Fresh from its triumphant tours to New York and London, the Baxter Theatre Centre’s runaway hit play MIES JULIE returns to South African soil when it comes to the Golden Arrow Studio for two and a half weeks only from 19 June to 6 July.
Winner of four Fleur du Cap awards and three top awards at the Edinburgh Festival last year, the production has enjoyed tremendous success internationally, playing to sold-out performances and earning nearly 20 five-star reviews, as well as being rated one of the top 10 shows in New York in 2012 by the New York Times. See the international reviews for this production.
The South African-born and internationally acclaimed director Yael Farber sets her explosive adaptation of Strindberg's classic MISS JULIE in the remote, bleak beauty of the Eastern Cape Karoo.
In a post-apartheid kitchen – a potent convergence point of domination, domestic practicality and untenable sadness – a single night, both brutal and tender, unfolds between a black farm labourer, the daughter of his "master" and the woman who has raised them both. The visceral struggles of contemporary South Africa are laid bare in this domestic setting, as a deadly battle between John and Mies Julie spirals one night over power, sexuality, memory, mothers and land.
The award-winning Farber's probing adaptation looks at a post-traumatic society and the knot of inheritances and legacies that entangle lives in the aftermath. Haunting and violent, intimate and epic, the struggles between the three individuals reach to address issues of restitution and the reality of what can and cannot ever be recovered.
