Aruna’s Story

Lushin Dubey, in a solo-performance depicts the story of Aruna Shanbaug, a nurse who remained in a permanent vegetative state for 42 years after being sexually assaulted by a ward attendant at a hospital in Mumbai. The play has its inevitable dark moments, but it is predominantly an overall perspective on various other actors in the drama, such as nurses, doctors, policemen, bureaucrats and taxi drivers. It focuses on Aruna as the radiant, determined, outgoing personality that she was, as seen in her devotion to her work, the cheer she invariably spread among her patients and colleagues and her relationship with the resident doctor to whom she was betrothed.
