By Micki Haller Senior Reporter University Theater and 1 hcatrix will present August Strindberg’s “Miss Julie today through Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Studio Theater of the Temple Building. Anc Meek of Larvik, Norway, directs the play in partial fulfillment of requirements of her master of fine arts degree in directing. Written 1(X) years ago, “Miss Julie” explores the love-hate psy chology between the daughter of a Swedish count and an ambitious servant. Bored and restless, Julie struggles to put her late mother’s strident feminism into action by treating her fiance cavalierly, but he breaks off the engagement. Julie begins to pursue her father’s attractive valet, Jean. In her father’s absence, Julie and Jean arc caught up in the frenzied merrymaking of Midsummer Eve with no thought of the consequences. “I have relied on music — well motivated by the Midsummer Eve dance — to exercise its hypnotic powers,” Strindberg explained in his 1888 preface to “Miss Julie.” “1 have motivated the tragic fate of Miss Julie with an abundance of circumstances,” Strindberg contin ued. “Her mother’s basic instincts, her father’s improper bringing up of the girl, her own inborn nature . .. her father’s absence, her monthly illness, her preoccupation with ani mals, the erotic excitement of the dance, the long summer twilight, the highly aphrodisiac influence of flowers and finally chance itself, which drives two people together in an out-of-the-way room, plus the boldness of the aroused man.” Susan Oltmanns, a second-year MFA candidate in acting from Grand Forks, N.D., plays Miss Julie. Oltmanns’ appearances last semes ter included roles in “A Christmas Carol” and “Rosencrantz and Guild enstern Are Dead.” Joe Sampson, a senior theater major from Central City, plays the opportunistic valet. He also had roles in “A Christmas Carol’ and “Rosencrantz andGuildcnstem Are Dead.” Tickets are S4 at the University Theater Box Office in the Temple Building.
