Milly Alcock to star in 'Julie' at London's Old Vic in April

Milly Alcock, known for her roles in 'Supergirl' and 'House of the Dragon,' is set to star in the play 'Julie' at London's Old Vic theater, Variety reported. The production is an adaptation of August Strindberg's 1888 play 'Miss Julie,' which explores themes of class and sexual politics.

The play 'Julie' will be adapted and directed by Rebecca Frecknall, the Old Vic's associate director. The story centers on Miss Julie, an aristocrat's daughter, and her interactions with her father's employees, John and Christine, leading to a tense and destructive dynamic.

The production is scheduled to debut on April 10 and run through May at the Old Vic. This marks Alcock's first new project since the debut of 'Supergirl' earlier this year, which received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office.

The modern adaptation was originally produced by Internationaal Theater Amsterdam. Alcock has previous stage experience in London, including a 2023 production of 'The Crucible' at the National Theatre.
