“We are fortunate that such excellent companies as London Classic Theatre still visit Hexham. They very much enrich our cultural life, especially in these days of governmental Philistinism. Over an hour and a half of this one-act tragedy, I and an attentive audience were transfixed by this tale of psychological class and sex games with overtones of violence. The play is an elegant three-hander. As Christine, Helen Barford gave an outstanding performance…as John the chauffeur, Andrew Dowbiggin maintained a beautiful balance between the deferential and the lecherous…as Miss Julie, Kathryn Ritchie was superb, making real the dilemma of a girl caught between sexual hunger and emotional frigidity. That this production was of such a high level was greatly due to the excellent direction by Michael Cabot, who was never afraid to slow the action down or speed it into frenzy. He has a very sure touch and created what is the best production to have visited Hexham for some years.
Helen Compson – Hexham Courant

“Miss Julie (Kathryn Ritchie) is the sumptuous, modern, man manipulator who keeps up the pace of the plot through its deeply embedded emotions. Her methods of manipulating John (Andy Dowbiggin) are ludicrous yet admirable, as post war life filled some women with desire and lust. The time span of the plot is over 12 hours, in which a full spectrum of emotions was thrown at the audience, leaving you both exhilarated and drained.”
Samantha Booth – Stoke Sentinel

London Classic Theatre director Michael Cabot deftly draws out the disturbing layers of nuances in this fine production. Kathryn Ritchie, in the title role, is movingly credible as a driven, vulnerable and eccentric 1940s aristocrat.”
