Brief Candle

Avedna is a hospital and hospice for cancer and the terminally ill. The founders have requested for a cultural event on founder's day.

Dr. Dave, Shanti and some of the terminally ill patients feel that a play written by an inmate who died of Aids related cancer will be an ideal choice.

The play is a farce with some extremely funny situations revolving around a hotel room near the airport.

As they rehearse the play, the actors discover similarities between themselves and the characters they are playing. It is clear that the dead playwright is speaking to them. The metaphor of arrivals and departures for life and death leaves them with a reflection of their own struggles and needs.

It is a poignant, tale that is also humourous and moving.
