THE STORY: AFTER MISS JULIE transposes August Strindberg's 1888 play about sex and class to an English country house on the eve of Labour's historic landslide in 1945.
South African born internationally acclaimed director and playwright, Yaël Farber, sets her explosive new adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie in the remote, bleak beauty of the Eastern Cape Karoo. Transposed to a post-apartheid kitchen – 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, as John and Mies Julie spiral in a deadly battle over power, sexuality, mothers and memory. Haunting and violent, intimate and epic, the characters struggle to address issues of reprisal and the reality of what can and cannot ever be recovered. Mies Julie is the winner of a number of awards including, the Best Of Edinburgh Fringe Award, an Edinburgh Fringe First Award and an Edinburgh Herald Angel Award. In December 2012, Mies Julie was listed in the Guardian's top ten best theatre picks of 2012 and in the Top Ten Plays of 2012 by the New York Times.
Miss Julie (1888), written in a fortnight, was regarded by Strindberg as his masterpiece, 'the first naturalistic tragedy of the Swedish drama'. Shocking in subject-matter, revolutionary in technique, it was fiercely attacked on publication for immorality. On Midsummer Eve, Miss Julie, the daughter of a count, sleeps with her father's valet, Jean. The subsequent conflict between sexual passion and social position, which leads to her suicide, is presented with startling modernity. The play's premiere at Strindberg's experimental theatre in Denmark in 1889 was banned by the censor and its first public production three years later in Berlin aroused such protests that it was withdrawn after one performance. Miss Julie has since become one of Strindberg's most popular and frequently performed plays. Commentary and notes by David Thomas and Jo Taylor.
Frank McGuinness presents scintillating new versions of two of August Strindberg's plays -- one a major work, the other less well known. Miss Julie is Strindberg's examination of power, sex, and class, set on a midsummer's eve in a nobleman's house and focusing on the shifting relationship between Miss Julie, the daughter of the house, and Jean, her father's manservant. The Stronger is a short play that explores the complex range of emotions felt by Madame X when she encounters Mademoiselle Y, her husband's former mistress, at a fashionable cafe. Calling Mademoiselle Y worn out and evil, Madame X says that the triumph of her marriage proves she is the stronger of the two -- even though these words ring hollow, as she attempts to deceive only herself.

It was the mid 1970's when the African-American couple, Mr. Bill and Miss Julie looked over the neighborhood, decided there were enough ten year old boys for a Little League Baseball team, and with the help of their friend Mr. Pensfeld, recruited enough boys for a team. As the story unfolds, Mr. Bill coaches with the help of his friend Mr. Pensfeld and his wife becomes the self appointed cheer leader. As each reader progresses through this book, the integrity, honesty and love exhibited by Mr. BIll and Miss Julie will be indelibly imprinted upon their memory. Readers will enjoy the little nuances of coaching that are incorporated into the story and which improve the player's skills as the Little League season progresses. Mr. Bill, prior to coaching this team, has had a stroke and his left side doesn't work very well. The bond between the boys and their coach increases as they take turns helping him move around or bring him a folding chair to sit on while they practice. Although the team loses at first, under Mr. Bills tutelage and Miss Julie's encouragement they eventually win more than just games. The story near the end evokes extreme emotion, but ultimately demonstrates the love between Mr. Bill, Miss Julie and the boys. Although based upon the personalities of an actual African-American couple, the story line of the book is fiction. Whether you are nine or ninety, the book MR. BILL AND MISS JULIE will be an inspiring, fun read!

Leola Jackson, born and bred in the Deep South, narrates her experiences as a black girl whose entire life was defined by Jim Crow boundary lines. These invisible lines, which were drawn and enforced by the authority of Southern laws and customs, told Leola and her friends where they could live, where they could go to school, where they could sit on a public bus, where they could sit and eat in a public place, where they were allowed to worship, and even how high their dreams and aspirations could take them. Leola never had many dreams. She always figured shed grow up to become a housemaid just like her single-parent mom. However, in 1954 when Leolas story begins, surprising things were happening in the nation, as well as inside Leolas tiny world. The winds were whispering that changes, later known as the Civil Rights Movement, were coming that would soon transform the nation and especially black Americans lives forever.
