REVIEWS FOR "THE CANDLESTICKMAKER"

"Seldom does one get a piece of theatre like this gem...The Candlestickmaker shows the best special effect is how a well-told story can kindle the imagination into a lasting, rapturous glow."
     Singapore Straits Times 2005 :: read the full review ::

"Rich in strong flavours, subtle nuances, whimsical aromas and pungent surprises, The Candlestickmaker is a work of supreme creative excellence"
     National Business Review :: read the full review ::

"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"
     The Evening Post :: read the full review ::

"A multi-course banquet of theatrical inventiveness. Everything about it is appetizing, pleasurable, and profoundly satisfying"
     Nelson Mail :: read the full review ::

"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"
     The Evening Post

"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"
