An Opportunity for Each of Us

3 weeks ago | pittsburghquarterly.com | Doug Heuck

PICT's "Miss Julie" a Triangle with Four Sides

2 months ago | pittsburghquarterly.com | Stuart Sheppard |Aakanksha Agarwal |Marianne Dougherty |Vicky A. Clark

Modern adaptations of classic plays often look like someone wearing borrowed clothes: they don’t fit quite right, and it’s obvious that the person wearing them had to struggle to put them on. But when an adaptation of a play like August Strindberg’s “Miss Julie” (1888) really does justice to its antecedent and fits the subject matter – such as in PICT’s current production at Carnegie Stage — we as the audience get a double reward . . .
