WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Roundabout Theater Company presents Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie, directed by Mark Brokaw.
Film and stage star Sienna Miller stars in the production, which transposes August Strindberg's 1888 play about sex and class to an English country house on the eve of Labour's historic landslide in 1945. The cast also includes Jonny Lee Miller and Marin Ireland.
