… Elangovan’s plays straddle and expand that knife’s edge between Ionescan absurdism and social realism into a unique and hellish realm of verbal brimstone and nightmarish imagery. To encounter Elangovan is to realise that one is already trapped in a cocoon of self-deception regarding the orderliness of our social universe: there is no justice and everything is unfair; a will-to-power is the law and morality is but a figment of an idealistic imagination informed by a stubborn conscience. Yet it is also from such an aforesaid imagination that these plays have been able to be born.” – Preface – Cyril Wong
“… My plays are intimate, edgy, and unapologetic. Unlike many other artistes in this country, I find it very difficult to seek comfort in becoming a roll of artistic toilet-paper for the powers that be.” – Introduction – Elangovan
