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.
