“As a prelude to Miss Julie, director Terje Tveit has produced the very short but interesting The Stronger. A chance meeting between two acquaintances on Christmas Eve provokes pride, guilt, betrayal and resolution, wholly encompassed in a soliloquy. Tiffany Dunlop as Madame sweeps upon her adversary Amelia, played with silent assurance by Anouka Brook in a tirade of forced bonhomie. Suspicions are aroused, accusations thrown and matters never fully resolved, leaving the audience to question who is the stronger. Brook’s silent performance speaks as eloquently as Dunlop’s and both actresses complement each other perfectly in a scene, which requires a great deal and generosity from each to work well.”

A woman (Amelia) is sitting at a table. Her facial expression and stare is distant.
