Review quote
One of Fugard's most universal works of theatre. It operates on two levels: as the story of a loving but lacerating relationship between a black man and a white boy; and ... as a powerful political statement about apartheid. --Mel Gussow, New Yorker
The greatest active playwright in the English-speaking world. --Time
In 'Master Harold' ... and the boys the author has journeyed so deep into the psychosis of racism that all national boundaries quickly fall away, that no one is left unimplicated by his vision.... Mr. Fugard has forced us to face point-blank, our capacity for hate ... but we're also left with the exultant hope that we may yet practice compassion without stumbling.... The choice, of course, is ours. Mr. Fugard's wrenching play, which insists that we make it, is beyond beauty.--Frank Rich, The New York Times
An exhilarating play ... a triumph of playmaking, and unforgettable! --New York Post
