Fresh take on Swedish work at drama festival

Miss Julie, one of Swedish playwright August Strindberg's most representative works written in 1888 and noted for its naturalistic style, has been adapted for the stage as a traditional Chinese opera.

In May 2014, the play was adapted by students and teachers of the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts into a show performed as a Yuju Opera, a traditional opera form that originated in Henan province during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

The show will now be staged under the same title on Nov 4 as part of the ongoing 6th Beijing College Students Drama Festival.
