NEW ZEALAND REVIEWS

"This minor masterpiece has that rare quality, charm, depth, delicacy and a devastating sting in the tail. It is such riveting theatre that you would have to have a heart of reinforced concrete not to be captivated by it. If there were a Race Relations Councillor's Award for huge leaps forward in cross-cultural understanding, KRISHNAN'S DAIRY would win hands down. Rajan is one of those rare actors in whose performance no trace of strain can be detected. He is a stage natural, economical in movement, fluid in gesture, never in your face but unforgettably in your presence. You leave the theatre somewhat chastened, but uplifted, too, by the luminous hope embodied in Krishnan's Dairy." (NZ Listener)
