The 1888 play by the Swedish writer and playwright August Strindberg tells the story of the aristocratic Juliet and her servant Jean on Midsummer's Night. After an exuberant evening, their mutual affection grows into a night spent together that changes their lives forever. With the realisation of all the possible consequences of transgressing social conventions comes sobriety, fear and a difficult coming to terms with reality. What next? Is it even possible to escape it or forget it?
