The simmering obsessive lust of Strindberg's Miss Julie for her serving man - Jean is translated by award-winning author Phil Willmott into a sultry gay master/servant encounter. For a few chaotic days in 1926 Britain's working class went on strike and upper class youths took over the jobs they'd abandoned. A blistering sexual power struggle ensues amongst the filth and grease of a depot at midnight between a striker and the wealthy young man attempting to drive his bus. This play is both a fascinating period piece and an exploration of gay lust and love as a weapon of subjugation.
