		05/11/2001 New Straits Times by Manveet Kaur RUNNING RIOT WITH "AUNTIE" remains fresh and funny… Gardner's cast pulls this play off very well… Manesh is especially good… Manomaniam delivers a wonderful pompous masculinity… the real star of the show is Rashid as the fake aunt, an over-the-top role he seems born to play + more 12/11/2001 The Edge by Jerome Kugan CROSS-DRESSERS HAVE ALL THE FUN such a delightful mango.
