Milly Alcock trades Supergirl for Strindberg's 'Julie'

Milly Alcock has chosen "Julie," an adaptation of August Strindberg's 1888 play "Miss Julie," as her next project. The production will be staged at London's Old Vic theatre, with performances scheduled from April 10 through May.

Rebecca Frecknall, an associate director at the Old Vic, has adapted and will direct the play. "Julie" centers on an aristocrat's daughter and her entanglement with a family servant, exploring themes of class and sexual politics. The modern adaptation was initially produced by Internationaal Theater Amsterdam.

This engagement follows Alcock's recent roles in "Supergirl" and "House of the Dragon." She also has prior stage experience in London, having performed in "The Crucible" at the National Theatre in 2023. The Old Vic's programming also includes "Henry V" and "Assassins" for its new season under artistic director Rupert Goold.
