Sangathi Arinhya! (Have you heard! (2008)
'Sangathi Arinhya! (Have you heard!)' is an adventurous mix of nine short stories by the acclaimed Malayalam writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, all 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.
Sangathi Arinhya was first performed in January 2008 as part of a festival, 'Under the Mangosteen Tree' organised to celebrate the centenary year of Vaikom Muhammad Basheer.
