Julie Was is a 1959 Australian radio play by Peter Kenna. It was his first radio play and followed his debut as a writer with The Slaughter of St Teresa's Day.[1]
According to Leslie Rees, it "showed with some unusual emotional truth the life of a small-town girl, spoilt and bored, a kind of junior rural Hedda Gabler, a liar and a trouble-maker, who sought the love denied her by her mother’s defection, but met her match in a young schoolteacher."[2]
According to the ABC, "in a play that is critical of a certain type of person, Kenna is both fluent and sensitive. with hints of Tennessee Williams and even Ibsen, but with a clearly observed Australian theme and setting. "[3]
The play was repeated in 1960.[4] A copy of the script is at the Hangar Library.[5]
