"Vasudev Menon requires special mention. It was hard to realize that he was acting, he was just being."

                                    - Soorya Sriram

"Vasudev Menon (Mallika’s lover and in some ways, Kalidasa’s stark opposite, Vilom), who at most points seemed to deviate from the heavy, theatrical idiom and body language and engaged in a relatively more grounded, and subtler delivery."

                   - Saranya Chakrapani

The New Indian Express on One Day in Ashaada (2009) Dir : Gowri Ramnarayan ; Madras Players.

"Wielding a bewildering array of theatrical weaponry, Vasudev Menon powers through the performance with confidence and obvious emotion.  Whether pining after his beloved, fearing the wrath of his political superiors or succumbing to treachory, he communicates the characters’ feelings with great depth, often using just a single well-chosen glance from wide kohl-rimmed eyes.  His balletic movements throughout add an extra layer of characterisation and make every line or rhyme seem pregnant with meaning"

                               - David Hepburn

for the role of Edgar Allan Poe in To Write My Epitaph (2014);  Dir: Vaishnavi Sundar; Short+Sweet Festival Chennai week 3

"Vasudev Menon playing Arvasu’s role in theatre Nisha’s production facilitated my viewing of Arvasu’s ‘goodness as a man’ and I feel as a spectator, this was what my reading of the play could not give me. Menon enlightened me that an actor has the caliber to enable the spectator realize that acting has the power to channelize one’s perception in the right direction"

Ph D thesis "Karnad's Women" chapter on Theatre Nisha's production The Fire and The Rain (2013) ; Dir : V.Balakrishnan

"Astounding performance. A unique blend of modern, traditional and ethnic story telling. Vasudev Menon surely knows his stuff."
