Yeah, I got nothing...

Blame it on the heat...or August...or one of those days...or something.

So I'm going to sit here and look at my favorite non-Morse softstache pic from the Miss Julie/Black Comedy era.

I feel the tiniest bit better already.

Of finding one's voice, of class divide, of journey towards revolution ? Young Royal analysis S3

I am back, much to my dismay even if the journey is also exhilarating. The limerence, the gut-wrenching obsession which were in check are ablaze with the S3 trailer !!! I am just so excited ! I am buzzing and I need to put it down in words etc.

My first Tumblr post, a few months ago (2 ?) was to talk about this insane amount of mental charge YR was taking rent-free in my head and my life and to ask about book references in YR. (Thanks for the answers even if in-between the countless rewatches of YR, I didn't take much time to read.)

So let's start anew with the S3 trailer. We all saw that in the library scene, just near Wilhelm's head, the cover of a book was subtly put, so to speak, in display even if it was in the background and even if the cover was blurred. Some undescripts yellow booklets are set aside so that we can see the cover of said book. So I tracked it down. Of course, it's a given. I am passionate about literature (though not versed at all in Scandinavian literature). It's the cover of Fröken Julie and Ett drömspel, by August Strindberg, a Swedish playwright. First Miss Julie (1888) paired with another play, A Dream play (1901). Both plays, with different means talk about (dixit wiki) class struggles, the journey to find one's voice, to navigate the tricky balance between the place assigned by society and by gender stereotypes, the struggle between obeying rules, following duty and be one's true self. Fröken Julie is about a forbidden love between an upper class woman who falls in love with a low-class servant. Both try to escape the boundaries, but the weight of the class-divided, patriarchal society is too heavy and the play hints at a final suicide as a way out. I don't think YR will end badly, Willmon will of course be endgame. But the struggles are real and painful.

Miss Julie's plot happens on Midsummer's eve. Stay tuned, I will make two other differents posts based on Midsummer, Young royals etc. What's your take on all this ?

Thank you @lisaambjorn-blog for giving us such a rich show, so many occasions to deepen our culture, to start a conversation on societal, political issues ! Young Royals Baby to quote Omar and of course, let's start a revolution !

“It’s Chinese New Year and celebrations are in full swing across post-war Singapore. Julie, daughter of a British tycoon, crashes the servants’ party downstairs. But what starts as a game descends into a fight for survival, as sex, power, money and race collide.

Playwright Amy Ng’s adaptation of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie transports us into a tumultuous era, where the disintegration of the British Empire is set against the rising consciousness of nationalism sweeping across Asia. Co-produced by Singapore Repertory Theatre and Hong Kong Arts Festival, this is a startlingly provocative play where differences of class and race rub against each other like tectonic plates, resulting in an eruption of sexual powerplay and class manipulation. Gripping to the very end, Miss Julie challenges preconceptions about racial supremacy, sexuality and taboo relationships.”
