Strindberg Inspired Play to Premiere at Pittsburgh Playwrights | Pittsburgh in the Round

Pittsburgh in the Round: Mark Clayton Southers experienced August Strindberg’s Miss Julie as translated by Irish playwright Frank McGinnis back in 2008. While attending the Dublin Theater Festival, Southers considered “troubles” of Protestant and Catholic divide as subtext in the production. He became intrigued by how the action of the popular naturalistic drama might be moved to an appropriate American setting and started writing his own version.
