About The Event
Under the Mangosteen Tree is an adventurous mix of ten stories by the great Malayalam writer Vaikom Muhammad 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.
Since its first performance in 2008, Under the Mangosteen Tree has travelled to theatres and festivals across the country, finding new audiences and creating lasting memories along the way.
As part of our Farewell Tour, we return to Rangashankara-one last time.
