The Old Vic to create new version of ITA Production Julie
In 2024, acclaimed British director Rebecca Frecknall made her ITA debut with Julie, a contemporary adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie. The production was highly praised by critics and audiences alike. The Times wrote of the Dutch production: ‘This is raw, poetic, painful and plausible. (★★★★★)’
Following this first collaboration, Frecknall became an Ibsen Artist in Residence at ITA. She went on to direct A Streetcar Named Desire, a new version of her internationally acclaimed Almeida production, and The Architect, a contemporary adaptation of Ibsen’s The Master Builder. Since 2026, Frecknall has also been an Associate Director at The Old Vic, where she will now create a new version of Julie.
The start of a long-term artistic partnership
The London production of Julie coincides with the start of a long-term artistic partnership between ITA and The Old Vic. From 2027, the two theatres will work together on new co-productions and the exchange of artists and emerging talent.
For The Old Vic, the partnership is part of a wider ambition to strengthen artistic ties with theatres across continental Europe.
