CITIZEN SINGH
"Billy Connolly spiced with curry" - The Scotsman

SIEGE MENTALITY
"Mattu may well prove to be the voice of his generation" - The Scotsman
"His unfailing sense of humour sends up everything and everybody, including himself ... an inspired script by the talented Gurmeet Mattu" - Glasgow Herald

COWBOYS & INDIANS
"The script itself is youthful, fantastical, verbally over-exuberant ... Mattu has created a quartet of thoroughly workable and believable characters ... the weird, exuberant, density of his language demonstrates beyond doubt that he has absorbed the unique rhythms and atmosphere of the city" -The Guardian
"This cheerfully fanciful tale of business derring-do and star-crossed romance brings together a thoughtful span of issues that relate to establishing one's own identity. Mattu's serious, sincere message would seem to be that the most important element in deciding who you are is to declare yourself a human being among other human beings"- Glasgow Herald
"Mattu approaches his subject with wit and sympathy. An intelligent, lively and funny play" - The List

A MsSIAH
"There is good writing here" - Glasgow Herald


"Mr Mattu certainly does not shirk big issues"- The Scotsman


SICK AS A PARROT
"What made this engaging small play was playwright Gurmeet Mattu's accurate ear for Glasgow speech and the neatly turned way in which he used the waywardness of adolescent devotion" - The Guardian

THE STORMER
(from Long Story Short)
"Gurmeet Mattu provided the most rewarding theatrical experience - an off-beat romantic comedy, full of incident, colour and suspense" - Sunday Times


"Of particular note was the sketch by GurmeetMattu" - Edinburgh Evening News


"The richest vein of comedy was mined in 'TheStormer' by Gurmeet Mattu" - The Scotsman

THE GIFTIE GIEN US
(from Scotland Matters)
" ... held its good wine to the last. Gurmeet Mattu, already an accomplished playwright, is somebody we will be hearing much more from. His cross-cultural influences give him strong insight into the Scottish scene. There is a full length play here. I look forward to it with relish. Perhaps 7:84 might find its soul by doing it" - Sunday Times

 

"Gurmeet Mattu's 'The Giftie Gien Us', wisely saved till last, is the only one to address the question of nationhood head-on, neatly balancing an allegorical love story with a typically 90's marketing campaign" - The List


"The idea of independence is finally confronted in Gurmeet Mattu's excellent 'The Giftie Gien Us" - Edinburgh Evening News
