Beneath the Banyan Tree is the story of an Indian girl, Anjali (Archana Ballal), whose family comes to settle in England, something which worries her because everyone knows that England is very wet and people wear raincoats all the time, even in bed. Anjali loves to dance and the traditional dance style Bharatanatyam is an important feature of the production. And she loves the stories of the Panchatantra. When she comes to England she finds herself between her Indian self and the desire to be accepted by the other children at school. Her Ajji (Grandmother, played by Grethe Jensen) pushes her into keeping the traditions of India alive but classmate Savannah (also played by Jensen) mocks the differences. We can easily see the effect this has on her, but then another classmate, Aidan (Paul Conway), finds the differences fascinating and there is a lovely lunch-time scene in which Aiden offers her half a sandwich for a taste of her lunch of chapati, samosa and other Indian food. She proposes a complete swap, his sandwich for her entire lunch!
