Details

A wild party. A friendship. A cherished pet. And a night that changes everything. 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 privilege, desire and destruction. Laura Lomas's The House Party spins Strindberg's Miss Julie into intense, fizzing life for today's generation.
