Milly Alcock to Star as Miss Julie at London's Old Vic
The Old Vic production of August Strindberg's play, adapted and directed by Rebecca Frecknall, opens April 10 and runs through May.
Milly Alcock has been cast as Miss Julie in a new production of August Strindberg's play at London's Old Vic, according to Variety. The production is set to premiere on April 10 and run through May.
The staging is a modern take on the 1888 Swedish play, adapted and directed by Old Vic associate director Rebecca Frecknall. It was originally produced at the International Theater Amsterdam.
In Strindberg's play, Miss Julie is an aristocrat's daughter drawn to one of the family's married servants. Alcock's other stage work includes playing Abigail Williams in The Crucible at London's National Theatre in 2023.
The casting was reported two days after a leadership change at DC Studios. Earlier this week, Peter Safran and James Gunn exited the studio following the Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount merger, with Jeremy Latcham now in charge.
Alcock appeared at the end of Superman, and her character's cousin features in Supergirl, which was released earlier this year. She is also known for playing young Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon and Simone DeWitt in Sirens.
