In the program for Romeo & Frøken Julie* (Romeo & Miss Julie) by Reidar Karlsen the following, among other things, is written:

"Shakespeare's Romeo versus Strindberg's Miss Julie: A modern marriage drama with an un-guaranteed ending.

Those who take part: Leni Ravnøy Eriksen as Miss Julie, Reidar Karlsen as Romeo and Bjørn Kolbjørnsen as The Nurse.

The apparently harmonic and romantic Romeo has gone blind, and the damned woman Miss Julie is never satisfied with her love. Did anyone say that men are to be pitied?

The nurse is surely there, either she wants to or not - and if the Saturday is nice, it is not impossible that August shows up, too."
