Brilliant.' starstarstarstarstar The Guardian 'The smash hit of the Fringe.' starstarstarstarstar The Telegraph 'Gets you watching as if your life depended on it, and leaves you heart-wrecked" starstarstarstarstar Sunday Times 'Eroticism and anger intertwine devastatingly in this post-apartheid overhaul of a controversial classic' starstarstarstarstar Time Out 'The temperature never stops rising in Yael Farber's Mies Julie, a play for which "scorcher" is way too mild a description - inspired' Ben Brantley, New York Times 'Farber makes new, frightening sense of the play's thematic power battles, turning Julie and John's relationship into a visceral fight for the ancestral home rights' Metro"
