Acclaimed Indian actor and playwright Arjun Raina brings together a wonderful ensemble of performers, professional and amateur to tell a tale about a healing center in rural Victoria told through the very contemporary form of an online Zoom Drama.

Story Synopsis:

Om Shanti Holistic Healing Center, a nursing home for the aged and terminally ill, owned by health and wellness magnate Victoria Shaw and run by Paro, a robotic nurse. The story opens with a cancer patient Andy introducing both his own life as well as that of his room-mate, a seemingly depressed and silent Indian Man. Paro takes care of them using technologically savvy methods. Interwoven into the fabric of this care is the war of possession being fought between Victoria Shaw and her son John Shaw for the control of the trust that runs the entire business. The smooth running of the operation is jeopardized when Paro (as promised by the inventor) adapts so perfectly to her role that she transforms herself into a ‘normal’ woman. The plot thickens, convolutes and the consequent complication and its climactic resolution brings this ‘social satire’ to its comic but meaningful conclusion.
