Notes
○ Better known as Miss Julie, this production was actually presented under the title of Miss Julia and all advertising, press notices and characters names reflected this. This is because Peter Watts' translation of the play was originally published as Miss Julia, before being later altered to Miss Julie.
○ Miss Julie was presented as a double-bill with Viennese Interlude.
○ This is believed to be the first professional in-the-round production of Miss Julia in the UK.
