PATIENT

The play relates the final throes of a patient suffering from liver cancer in the 1970s, when treatment was limited. The story covers the entire gamut of the patient's relationship with the disease - right from the revelation of his fatal predicament to the harrowing journey that follows. At the heart of the narrative is the patient's (in)ability to deal with the pain that accompanies his illness and the effect that it has on his family and those around him.
