Overview
Inspired by true events, two student actresses at Yale delve into dark competition in staging Strindberg's Miss Julie, pushing the envelope of Naturalist authenticity until they lose sight of reality. "Voyeur" explores the extremes of self-inflicted student perfectionism at an elite college through the lens of a dark comedy, asking the questions: How far will one go to reach authenticity? Can the theatre ever disappear completely and become life itself?
