MANGO ROSES, an original musical with an African pulse, was dedicated to Grandmother Mawdah Mutaruha, the last known survivor of Punishment Island, where women were abandoned when they fell pregnant out of wedlock. There, they either died or were rescued by men in search of 'free' brides...Mukaaka Mawdah was rescued Erasmus, her now deceased husband. This picture was taken on a recent (October, 2013) visit to Lake Bunyonyi, in remote western Uganda.
