Hope Theatre Students Present
"Miss Julie" on Oct. 25-26
Posted October 22, 2002
HOLLAND -- A senior-project production of "Miss
Julie" will be presented on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25-26,
at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Center studio theatre.
The public is invited. Admission is $2, payable
at the door.
Written in 1888 by Swedish playwright August
Strindberg, the production is directed by Peter Beck, a theatre major from Dolton, Ill., and is all-student designed, run and acted.
"Miss Julie" takes place over a single compressed,
and unbroken 90-minute episode in the stately kitchen of a
wealthy Count's estate, where the war between the sexes is
simmering to a boil one Midsummer's Eve. The Count's
beautiful, aggressive daughter has set about to seduce Jean,
the Count's footservant, and what begins as a manipulative
flirtation soon turns into a dangerous game of passion,
power and betrayal.
The studio theatre is located in the ground level
of the DeWitt Center, located on 12th Street and Columbia
Avenue.
