Not for the first time, August Strindberg’s late 19th century play gets a modern makeover.
Polly Stenham‘s update is set in 21st century London, where newly single, thirtysomething tycoon’s daughter Julie (The Crown‘s Vanessa Kirby) is throwing a wild party. Below stairs, servants Jean (Eric Kofi Abrefa) and Kristina (Thalissa Teixeira) clean up the mess. But when a line is crossed, a meltdown ensues.
