Laura Lomas’ modern-day play exploring themes of class, power and privilege.
It’s Julie’s 18th birthday, and she’s throwing a party in her father’s extravagant townhouse. Her boyfriend has just dumped her and her long-suffering best friend Christine is trying to pick up the pieces. As the revellers pile into the booze, down in the kitchen Christine and her boyfriend Jon - son of Julie’s cleaner - clear up and dare to dream of the future.
But as the volume goes up and the shots go down, Julie concocts a twisted cocktail of entitlement, desire and destruction.
Directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director Holly Race Roughan with movement from the formidable Frantic Assembly, Laura Lomas’ The House Party spins Strindberg’s Miss Julie into intense, fizzing life for today’s generation.
