Description
As dusk approaches, a former surgeon prepares to close his dilapidated clinic in rural India. His day has been long and hard, with medical supplies arriving late and the electrics threatening to fail at any moment. Despite the challenges, he continues his work, driven by a sense of duty. That night, a family arrives at the clinic, their bodies bearing wounds that cannot be explained. The surgeon is faced with an impossible task: to mend the wounds of the dead before sunrise, so they may return to life. As the night unfolds, he realizes that his future is inextricably linked to that of this family. This powerful fable explores the boundaries between life and death, and the miracles we ask of doctors. With its unique blend of realism and magic, Night Theatre is a thought-provoking tale that will linger long after the final page has been turned.
