Red Oleanders (Raktakarabi) is a timeless and fiercely poetic play by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, reimagined by Baithak UK in a powerful new production directed by Sangeeta Datta.
Set in the dystopian mining town of Yaksha, where gold is god and workers are stripped of identity, one woman — Nandini — dares to speak. Her presence disrupts the machinery of fear and awakens buried truths.
A bold critique of authoritarianism, dehumanisation, and capitalist greed, Red Oleanders is also a celebration of resistance, freedom, and the human spirit.
