Afternoon Play: Mangosteen Mania

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

On board a ship from Bombay to Southampton in 1901, a rare mangosteen plant travels by royal appointment. A fictional story of one man's attempt to win a prize and how others attempted to cash in on it, thus creating a fading market - and comical forerunner of a dotcom boom. By Charlotte Corv.
