Helen George's AFTER MISS JULIE Comes To Richmond Theatre in July

Theatre Royal Bath Productions presents a brand new version of Patrick Marber's AFTER MISS JULIE, with Helen George, Richard Flood and Amy Cudden at Richmond Theatre from Mon 11 to Sat 16 July as part of a UK tour, prior to a West End transfer.

Set in 1945 in an English country house, on the eve of Labour's landslide victory at the end of the Second World War, this compelling and erotic psychological thriller is inspired by Strindberg's 1888 masterpiece.

During a summer ball, the beautiful daughter of the peer who owns the house, wanders into the servant's quarters. As she flirts with her father's handsome chauffeur, indifferent to the presence of his fiancée, what begins as game-playing ignites into passion with devastating consequences.

Helen George plays Miss Julie. Well-known for her role as Trixie Franklin in Call the Midwife, she recently received huge praise for her thrilling performances on Strictly Come Dancing. Helen's stage credits include the leading role of Sharpay Evans in the stage adaption of High School Musical; Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Woman in White; two of Nick Bagnall's productions A Midsummer Night's Dream and By Jeeves; Company (Kings Head); Plan? (ETT/Milton Rooms); and Love Never Dies (Adelphi Theatre).
