Miss Julie (1888), written in a fortnight, was regarded by
Strindberg as his masterpiece, 'the first naturalistic tragedy of
the Swedish drama'. Shocking in subject-matter, revolutionary in
technique, it was fiercely attacked on publication for immorality.
On Midsummer Eve, Miss Julie, the daughter of a count, sleeps with
her father's valet, Jean. The subsequent conflict between sexual
passion and social position, which leads to her suicide, is
presented with startling modernity. The play's premiere at
Strindberg's experimental theatre in Denmark in 1889 was banned by
the censor and its first public production three years later in
Berlin aroused such protests that it was withdrawn after one
performance. Miss Julie has since become one of Strindberg's most
popular and frequently performed plays. Commentary and notes by
David Thomas and Jo Taylor.
