Reviews: The Candlestickmaker

The production still has a freshness about it and it still has the power to raise not only laughter and applause but also a collective gasp of shock from the audience - The Candlestickmaker [is] a play that touchingly illustrates not only the power and the limitless range of the imagination, but also the unpredictability of life, whether you happen to be a duck or an astrophysicist.

Krishnan's Dairy is a hard act to follow, but, as the audience jauntily exited, it was clear that the charming Rajan had proved again his winning formula.

A multi-course banquet of theatrical inventiveness. Everything about it is appetising, pleasurable, and profoundly satisfying.

Rich in strong flavours, subtle nuances, whimsical aromas and pungent surprises, The Candlestickmaker is a work of supreme creative excellence.

The audience is beguiled by theatrical magic…At the curtain call the whole company - and it is very much a company - was given a rousing reception for what I think can best be described as an evening of enchantment.
