Strindberg's Miss Julie is well directed, but it's Shaffer's dark comedy that illuminates in this contrasting double bill
August Strindberg's tragedy Miss Julie and Peter Shaffer's farce Black Comedy were somewhat arbitrarily yoked together in a Chichester double bill in 1965. Now they've been reunited in a cross-cast Jamie Glover production and, as happened nearly half a century ago, it is Shaffer's play that induces the kind of ecstasy we all look for in theatre.
