#5. Miss Julie by the Hypocrites at Chopin Theatre - " Fringe-theater proprietor Sean Graney had a big year, including well-received projects at some of the city’s largest theaters.

The ambient live music, the postcoital junkyard row and all that nakedly explored Victorian gender weirdness made Julie the closest Graney has come to creating something nobody else can".
