by [[August Strindberg]] (1888). (Swedish: '''Fröken Julie''') is a naturalistic play written in 1888. Strindberg completed it in 1888 and staged its first production in 1889. The play, written in Swedish, was published in expurgated form in Copenhagen in 1889 by Joseph Seligmann (1836-1904), a Swedish publisher. The deleted passages have since been restored. The first production in Stockholm took place in November 1906, at The People's Theatre, with Sacha Sjöström as Kristin, Manda Björling as Miss Julie, and August Falck as Jean.

In 1985 [[Bobby Heaney]] directed a controversial production of the play, in which the servants Jean (John) and Kirstin (Christine) are black and Miss Julie is a white landowner's daughter. It starred the leading [[Black]] actor of the time, [[John Kani]],  and [[Sandra Prinsloo]], the leading [[White]] [[Afrikaans]] actress of her generation, and  [[Natie Rulia]]. The play premiered in 1985 at [[Baxter Theatre]] in Cape Town, then went on to the [[Market Theatre]] in Johannesburg, where it met with huge opposition and controversy, including a staged walkout by right-wing [[Afrikaners]] on the opening night, and death threats made against the actress. It also visited Edinburgh Festival. A TV film version of this production was made in 1986, with the same cast and directed by [[Bobby Heaney]] and Finnish director, Mikael Wahlforss. It was filmed in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa and released on the 29 May 1986 in Finland.
