Look What Fell Out De Mango Tree

It is my pleasure to welcome the A&C Group to Look What Fell Out De Mango Tree. I hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable evening of laughter, heart, and extraordinary storytelling. It would mean so much to meet you afterwards, so please stay and say hello.

What happens when the secrets that shaped your life refuse to stay buried?

Award-winning Jamaican playwright and storyteller Debra Ehrhardt returns with her most personal and compelling work yet. Look What Fell Out De Mango Tree is an inspiring new play based on extraordinary true events that span continents, generations, and decades of hidden family secrets.

Set between Jamaica and America, the story follows a woman determined to uncover the truth about her past. What she discovers forces her to confront painful truths, break generations of silence, and find the courage to rewrite her own story.

Filled with Debra Ehrhardt’s trademark humour, warmth and emotional honesty, this moving two-person play explores identity, family, forgiveness and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. Audiences will laugh, cry and leave inspired by a story that reminds us healing begins the moment we are brave enough to tell the truth.

Directed by Academy Award and Grammy Award winner Paul Williams, the production stars Ehrhardt alongside Juilliard-trained actor Christopher Grossett.

This is the kind of theatre that stays with you long after you’ve left the auditorium. Based on a remarkable true story, written and performed by award-winning storyteller Debra Ehrhard, Look What Fell Out De Mango Tree is filled with unforgettable characters, laugh-out-loud humor, surprising twists, and heartfelt emotion. Although set in Jamaica and America, its themes of family, identity, love, and forgiveness are universal. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll see a little of your own family in this extraordinary story.

Content advice

Contains mature themes, occasional sexual references, and one hilariously awkward conversation between a mother and her adult son about the facts of life. Every word is true. If you can’t handle the truth… don’t worry, there are plenty of musicals.
