August Strindberg wrote 'Fräulein Julie' in just 20 days in 1888. Due to censorship regulations, however, the play could not be performed in public until 1892 in Berlin. Since then, 'Fräulein Julie' has become Strindberg's most frequently performed play. Under the direction of Stefan Maurer, Schauspiel Wuppertal is staging Strindberg's naturalistic tragedy as a co-production with the Théâtre National du Luxembourg.
