Manitoba Theatre Centre presents Jake’s Gift at The Tom Hendry Theatre Warehouse from January 19th through February 5th. Tickets range from $15 to $40 depending on age, date and seat section.
Here is an excerpt from the MTC website:
Patrick Marber (MTC Warehouse’s Closer) transplants August Strindberg’s once-scandalous play to the English countryside on the night of the Labour Party’s landslide victory in 1945. As revellers celebrate, Miss Julie engages in a forbidden flirtation with her father’s chauffeur, John. Seduced by her manipulations and driven by his own ambition, John lays bare long-held feelings for the reckless temptress. Their affair escalates into a volatile power struggle that leaves destruction in its wake.
MTC presents Patrick Marber’s version of August Strindberg’s play as part of StrindbergFest 2011.
