Jermyn Street Theatre Presents CREDITORS and MISS JULIE
In the summer of 1888, bankrupt and at his wits' end, August Strindberg and his family rented rooms in a ruinous Danish castle called Skovlyst. The castle was also occupied by a young aristocratic woman, her corrupt steward, and a menagerie of exotic animals. That summer, Strindberg wrote two masterpieces of world theatre his intense tragedy Miss Julie and dark comedy Creditors, the play he regarded as his finest.
