Book tickets for Julie – a thrilling contemporary adaptation of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie playing at London’s Old Vic Theatre between 10 April and 29 May 2027.

Julie stars Milly Alcock (Supergirl, House of the Dragon) and is directed by Rebecca Frecknall. It’s a fierce and intimate play that explores desire, class conflict and sexual politics through the story of a woman desperate to break free from society’s constraints. It is

Julie – A battlefield of desire and destruction 

Frecknall’s adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie brings the psychological intensity of the 1888 original into the present day, making its themes of power, desire and social transgression urgently relevant.

The play explores the psychology of desire, including how attraction and repulsion are often intertwined, how social hierarchies can be both armour and prison, and how the need to transgress can be both liberating and destructive. Frecknall’s contemporary adaptation also strips away period detail to reveal the raw emotional truth at the heart of the play: the human struggle between passion and propriety.

Julie plays the Old Vic Theatre in London from 10 April to 29 May 2027. With limited capacity and a limited run, early booking is recommended for the best choice of performances and seats. Get updates on when tickets are on sale by signing up to the West End Theatre newsletter.

On the night of her 21st birthday, Julie finds herself in the kitchen of her father’s house, where she encounters her father’s employees John and Christine.

A reckless flirtation then becomes an increasingly intense psychological battle, and as the night unfolds, boundaries of class, desire and power blur and crumble, pushing all three characters towards destruction.
