 I
have become quite a fan of Act Provocateur International this
Fringe, and their production of Miss Julie, based on August
Strinberg was the fifth of their shows I have seen this year.
Set
in the servants quarters of a stately home, Jan, Shaban Arifi, the
Counts driver, and his fellow servant and lover Kristin, Aubrye
Woodruff, are interrupted when Miss Julie, Trine Thielen, the
Count's daughter gatecrashes after a night of drinking.
The
resulting illicit sexual action between Julie and Jan leads to a
power struggle between them and the balance surely flows the way
of the driver.
But
will love or lust conqueror all, or will it all go badly wrong.
The only way to find out is to and witness yet another example of
this company’s edgy performances.
