Miss Julie

About the show

On Midsummer’s Eve at a Swedish estate, aristocrat Julie flirts with her father’s valet Jean, who is engaged to the cook Christine. Julie and Jean have sex and plan to flee and open a hotel, but their class positions and dependence on Julie’s father undermine the plan. After the Count returns, Julie asks Jean for a way out; he gives her a razor, and she leaves, presumably to die by suicide.
