Rob Johnston's adaptation of Strindberg's Miss Julie is a sizzling story of forbidden love and power struggles between the aristocratic Julie and her father's valet, John. As their desires collide, societal norms unravel, leading to a gripping climax that exposes the raw complexities of human nature.
