Reviews for THE MARINER'S SONG:
"...It is rare to see someone so at ease on stage [...and...] thanks to the gravitas, warmth, and skill Sharma brings to this piece, it is easy to enjoy. This is wonderful storytelling..."
4 STARS, EdFringeReview.com (1)
"...The poem itself flows with a rhythm true to its ancient predecessors, and the delivery runs seamless and confident for the entire 50 minutes - quite an accomplishment in itself..."
4 STARS, EdFringeReview.com (2)
"...it’s no easy task for one man and his words to captivate an entire audience’s attention, yet Rajan Sharma does so beautifully in this spoken word piece...Sharma explores the ancient traditions and tropes that surround this art, as well as weaving commentary on the storytellers themselves, in a style that is both beautiful and hypnotic..."
