After Miss Julie by Patrick Marber
A new adaptation of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie

Written by Patrick Marber (author of Closer), After Miss Julie is set entirely in the servant’s kitchen, and Gremlin Theatre presents this sexy, taut and terrifying work in the intimate, period setting of the kitchen of the James J. Hill House in St. Paul.

After Miss Julie transposes August Strindberg’s 1888 play about sex and class to an English country house on the eve of Labour’s 1945 historic victory over Churchill and the Conservatives. While celebrations break out among the lower classes in every street and pub, Miss Julie descends into the servants’ kitchen of her father’s country mansion in search of the chauffeur John. Over one long midsummer’s night, Miss Julie’s world is turned head over heels.

Sea Marks by Gardner McKay

“Sea Marks shines with deeply felt emotion. The words sound like music and the language soars to the heavens.” – Boston Globe

Sea Marks is a charming and unlikely romance, driven by a Celtic poetic sense and clinging just to the edge of the modern world.

Colm, an Irish fisherman from the Western Isles, unschooled in anything but the sea, begins courting by mail Timothea, a woman he has glimpsed only once a year and a half earlier. Originally from a simple farm in Wales, Timothea has left that life for one with more promise in Liverpool working for a publisher of books. She is a lover of words, and is drawn by the natural poetry of Colm’s language as well as by the man himself. They have fallen in love. But how can a career girl who has fled the rustic life once already now abandon all to live by the sea? And how can a man who has known nothing else but the rhythm of the sea ever leave it for good?
