Roundabout Theatre Company’s previously announced production of Patrick Marber’s After Miss Julie, starring screen alum Sienna Miller in her Broadway debut, will hit the stage beginning September 2009. The show, directed by Mark Brokaw, will start preview performances September 18, with opening night set for October 22 at the American Airlines Theatre. Additional casting and creative team members for the limited engagement, which plays through December 6, will be announced shortly.
After Miss Julie is a radical reimagining of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie, the1888 play about sex and class. Marber's take on the piece relocates Strindberg’s story to an English country house on the eve of the British Labour Party’s historic landslide election victory in 1945. After Miss Julie, directed by Tony Award nominee Michael Grandage, originally debuted at London’s Donmar Warehouse in November 2003, starring Kelly Reilly, Richard Coyle and Helen Baxendale.
After Miss Julie will be produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company in association with Sonia Friedman Productions and Ostar Productions.
