'Red oleanders', a powerful and moving play, is the story of Nandini, a girl who disregards all social barriers and taboos in her search for happiness.

Entering a town where men are enslaved to mining gold, she makes them aware of their bondage and creates in them a desire to be free. Her symbol, the red badge of courage. But Nandini escapes being defined as just a symbol. The tremendous energy and strength which Tagore invests in her, makes her a real living personality.
