Review: MISS JULIE, Park Theatre
Max Harrison’s production is a beautiful textbook revival that, while leaning into the comic side of the text (translated here by Michael Meyer) accordingly tips into the opposite range of emotional distress. This Miss Julie is funny one second, horrid the immediate next.
Review: UNION, Arcola Theatre
Union is half love letter to a changing city and half harangue against the soulless destruction of local communities for the benefit of a coffee shop chain. Max Wilkinson offers an abundance of topical matters, slightly overdoing it, and better suited for a longer running time.
