UNDER THE MANGOSTEEN TREE
STORIES OF VAIKOM MUHAMMAD BASHEER
A Play in English (with a little Malayalam)
Directed by Rajiv Krishnan

‘Under the Mangosteen Tree - Stories of Vaikom Muhammad Basheer’ is an adventurous mix of seven stories by the great Malayalam writer Basheer, all very different, but with a common vein of love, humour and pathos running through them. A connecting link in this heady concoction is the character of Basheer himself, who plays narrator, participant and witness in turn. These stories are blended together in a non-linear yet seamless narrative that reveals the extraordinary range of Basheer’s writing and experiences.
