THE PLAY: The Parting introduces five men on the eve of an elusive journey into the unknown. Forced to confront their differences and expose their deepest fears before the break of day, they unravel a truth that will bind them together for eternity. Based on the radio play by Tanika Gupta, The Parting is Entity Theatre Workshop’s official entry for the FEATS 2008 one-act competition in Stockholm (Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies, 9-12 May 2008).
